Exit Sandman

(Slow, echoing, clean guitar intro — reversed chords from “Enter Sandman”)

Say your prayers one last time

Light goes out, cross that line

Tales we told, the dreams we fed

Now they fade… into the dead

(Heavy drop — slow, doomy riff crashes in)

Hush now, little soul

No more monsters in the cold

The night has bled, the hour’s passed

The Sandman’s home… at last

⸻

Exit light, fade to gray

Exit Sandman, slip away

No more screams, no lullabies

Just blackened skies and last goodbyes

⸻

Tick-tock, the cradle breaks

Nothing left for fear to take

Dust to dust, ride the flame

Exit Sandman. End the name.

(Solo: Kirk goes full funeral pyre mode — melodic, emotional, screeching bends and wails like a banshee. Then silence…)

⸻

Exit light… fade to gray…

Exit Sandman… slip away…

All is done… the tale is told…

Leave the stage, let silence hold…

(Guitars trail off with reversed echoes of the original Enter Sandman riff, like a ghost of the past fading into static)

⸻

“Off to never-never land…”

“…was.”
