Lyrics
Death Whispered a Lullaby
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out on the road there are fireflies circling
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Under the fog there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, hold my hand
Into the dark there are eyelids closing
Buried alive in the shifting sands
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life, all your memories
Go to your dreams, forget it all
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
