[00:42.57]It begins with a blessing [00:45.15]But it ends with a curse [00:49.72]Making life easy But making it worse [00:57.37]My mask is my master [01:01.84]The trumpeter weeps [01:04.30]But his voice is so weak [01:06.98]As he speaks from his sleep [01:26.85][01:13.35]Singing Why why why are we sleeping?
