Does anyone know what Gerard Way is saying in the beginning of the song 'Sleep' from the Black Parade?

Answer 1

I think it goes something like this:

"These terrorists...it was like feels like as if somebody was gripping my...and these terrorists..kinda felt like feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat...uh, and all the tremors of course the tremors then there were these terrorists...last night, uh and all the tremors of course the tremors there were these terrorists, kinda like, it feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat, squeezing...and it felt like it was gripping my throat"

[song begins]

Answer 2

The beginning of this song is part of one of the band member's story about staying at the Paramour Mansion. This story can be found in the book that comes with the special limited edition of the CD. Only someone who can has the book and can be bothered to type it all out can tell you! Because, as you probably know it's said in one of those robotic voices which are hard to tell what he's saying. Oh well, extra 2 points yay

Answer 3

I read on Wikipedia that it can be found in the special edition CD's. It's some story. I'll try to find it for you if I can find my CD :) And the poster above me: those aren't the lyrics to Sleep.

Answer 4

hope this helps you


Welcome to this institution
One way to resolution
I'm put on this medication
Rolls down my throat

Cause I can't ever sleep at night the same
This medication enjoys, enjoys most every day

Cause I close my eyes,
I see land

What did I say?
What did I say to put Sister to Sleep?
And fall awake and die
And I'm never goin' to bed

Back to the day, back into this day
Back to another level, hotter then hell
Said that we're not savages until we do it
Again
And one last night I'll kiss your lips again

What did I say?
What did I say to put Sister to Sleep?
And fall awake and die
And I'm never goin' to sleep

I will take this ferris wheel
And I'm sleepwalking back into this hell

Oh my darling
For the first time

Don't let me sleep tonight
And get in your way tonight
Don't let me sleep tonight
Get in your way

What did I say?
What did I say to put Sister to sleep?
I'll never go to sleep
And I won't go back to bed

I'm sleepwalking back into this...
Hell!
Oh... God...
