	Story Behind the Song This song was inspired by a poem received from Marius D. Moon in Vancouver. After reading the poem through few times, the following lines came up as chorus lines: Don´t leave my slumber, This dream must go on....... ..........and these 2 lines are the root of the music. Maybe Marius will rewrite his poem as a lyrics for this song, but until then we have his beautiful poem: Innocence of Slumber by Marius D. Moon We struggle with the consciousness forced by dawn, reluctant to slip away from the peaceful innocence of slumber. Ah, to remain in the safe beauty of our dreams, with what treasures would we part? There in the midst of our souls´ honesty, where our inhibitive conscience grants temporary reprieve to the frustrated desires of our hearts. Once more we dance freely with our passions, as with a lover who must hide in the shadows until the master is away. His return is imminent, so we must dance while we can. Too soon the music stops. Too quickly the dawn douses the flames our passions ignite. Yet underneath the smouldering whispers of our secret subconciousness, a tiny spark is safe, awaiting our return to the peaceful innocence of slumber. I shall meet you there, my love. Copyright © 2003 Marius D. Moon Lyrics Slumber. I wrestled with dawn To hold onto my slumber I offered her treasures In return for my dreams. Now that I've escaped The cell of her conscience There's no one to judge me I'm not ready to leave. Slumber is waiting, Like a lover in shadows Whispers sweet secrets That conscience can't tame. I live all my days Tied up in these ribbons Satin and flowing, They cut to the bone. Dreams free the dreamer From her own scarlet letter For slumber is innocent When conscience is gone. Slumber is waiting, Like a lover in shadows Whispers sweet secrets That conscience can't tame. She keeps all my dreams And still takes the treasure. Paper dolls and cookie cutters Now she molds me. But her bucket of conscience Couldn't douse passion's embers A tiny spark is waiting For innocent sleep. Slumber is waiting, Like a lover in shadows Whispers sweet secrets That conscience can't tame.
