And everything that your own hands have wrought
And call those works extravagance of breath
That are not suited for such men as come
Proud, open-eyed and laughing to the tomb.”

“You shout in your sleep.
Perhaps the price is just too steep.
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?”

"Childhood's End", on Obscured by Clouds (1972)
Context: You shout in your sleep.
Perhaps the price is just too steep.
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.
