I was walking among the fires of hell
Delighted with the enjoyments of genius
Which to angels looked like torment and insanity

Let me sleep
Let me sleep the sleep of the angels
Let me dream
Darkness beauty in ages

Let me sin
Let me juggle the eye of the savior
Let me in
Let me shine the creator

Among the living
Among the stars
I hear a voice
Come with us

Let me sleep
Let me sleep the sleep of the angels
Let me dream
Darkness beauty in ages

Let me sin
Let me juggle the eye of the savior
Let me in
Let me shine the creator

I heard an angel singing
When the day was springing
Mercy, pity, peace
Is the world's release
Thus he sung all day
Over the new mown hay
Till the Sun went down
And haycocks looked brown
