Lyrics
She lived in a lonely little village
She was such a young and beauteous wench
Looked like her late mother's spitting image
People thought she had to be a witch
'Cos she was different from the others
And all her knowledge was so rich
The sleep of reason produces monsters
A human being finds his beast
Beast!
The sleep of reason always helps to foster
An unforeseen apocalypse
Unending
Much too wise and far too educated
She had read her mother's every book
She was now the one her neighbours hated
"Women are to bear, to serve and cook"
She knew she had to start escaping
Or they would drown her in the brook
The sleep of reason produces monsters
A human being finds his beast
Beast!
The sleep of reason always helps to foster
An unforeseen apocalypse
Unending
She began recalling
Mum's warm eyes full of love
Heard her words so heartening
When she said: you're smart enough
You could ask the stars above
The sleep of reason produces monsters
A human being finds his beast
Beast!
The sleep of reason always helps to foster
An unforeseen apocalypse
Unending
Unending
Unending
Unending
Unending
So far
