Why! Does the day forsake the one who loves it so? Why! Am I the one it loathes, its hatred shows? No rest for I, for I come alive, when the night has reached its peak I'll tell you, why I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why You! Are so perverse you know my ways, you say You! Are the one who makes me hate to live this way No rest for I, for I come alive when the dark restores my strength I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why The Owl Does not sleep The Owl Does not sleep The Owl Does not weep The Owl Does not weep When the Moon is high, it lets me know my time has come When the slaves are silent, the world is muted We'll meet the celestial one No rest for I, for I come alive, when the day has died again I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why The Owl Does not Sleep The Owl Does not Sleep The Owl Does not Weep The Owl Does not Weep I saw the morning Sun rise again Sleepless am I, no longer wayward sent No path remains clear in apathetic throes No sign of life in melancholic notes I saw the morning Sun rise again Sleepless am I, no longer wayward sent No dream has matured in my stasis low Doubtful and lost, shall I abandon hope? I! Will dwell in the shade of day that hates me so I! Will make my way at the height of the nocturne glow No rest for I, for I come alive, when I meet the Maiden White I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why The Owl Does not Sleep The Owl Does not Sleep
