Sleep

My ears attends to you
as a mother hears
while her children sleep
Now look, see how they're dreaming
the Black Reciter reads
while the children sleep
Don't go so deep in slumber
where you shan't know you're wandering
Sleep
Don't you fly too far away
Some men die without crying
suffering so long and alone
Softly children, dry your eyes
Gently children, be wise
My ears attends to you
as a mother hears all her children's fears
So don't cry
all will wash away
when we pray
Soon
Soon
Soon...
So if it's okay
I'll wait with you a while
The sun began to shine
Oh look, your wings are broken
but never a lie was spoken
The murdered thing
is love, you see
drifting on a lake
of memory
Now sleep
Close your eyes
and have no fear
A wide blue sky
is very near
Soon
Soon
Soon...
Sleep.
