    Lyrics
    THEY SLEW THE DREAMER
    (Gary Revel - Mary Noel)

    EARLY IN THE EVENING, THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN
    HE STOOD ON THE BALCONY IN A TROUBLED PART OF TOWN
    CALLING TO THE SINGER, SAID SING MY FAVORITE SONG
    TAKE MY HAND, PRECIOUS LORD, LEAD ME HOME

    THEY SLEW THE DREAMER, LET A DREAMER TAKE THE FALL
    THEY TURNED THE COURTROOM INTO A COSTUME BALL
    THEY SLEW THE DREAMER, LET ANOTHER SING THEIR SONG
    THEY SLEW THE DREAMER BUT THE DREAM LIVES ON

    THE SHOT RANG OUT IT'S WARNING, THE DREAMER FELL TO DIE
    RAOUL SLIPPED INTO HIDING, FOLLOWED BY THE NIGHT
    THE REAPER NOW IS READY, IT'S TIME TO AWAKE
    SLEEPING DREAMER, TELL US WHO ARE THEY

    THEY SLEW THE DREAMER, LET A DREAMER TAKE THE FALL
    THEY TURNED THE COURTROOM, INTO A COSTUME BALL
    THEY SLEW THE DREAMER, MADE ANOTHER SING THEIR SONG
    THEY SLEW THE DREAMER BUT THE DREAM LIVES ON
