What I think: "Time moving slow the minutes seem like hours the final curtain call I see how true is this? Just get it over with if this is true, just let it be" I think he means fuck im gonna die just hurry the hell up. "Wakened by horrid scream Freed from this frightening dream " I think this part means that all of this was just a dream
