The night-wind swallows you
Eats you up in lust and smiles, silently
Sleep, sleep, sweetheart
Dream and forget our misery
A mortal fever haunts the dying earth
Our hearts and souls stand still and wince
I can`t save your day,
Rescue won`t take your hand,
So sleep the day away
Sleep, my dear
And our god hides in calm
I whisper while your eyes are shut
And don`t see this hell on earth
Sleep, sleep sweetheart, never wake up
You are not made for this world`s grinning pain
Shining eyes, they are no more, sleep well
Veins getting cold and the shadows lurk, shadows lurk
I long for new born lights divine and pure
A clearing rain to wash our dirt away
A mortal fever haunts the dying earth
Our hearts and souls stand still and wince
Content dance the snakes
For their work now`s completed
Their poison creeps
