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


I whisper while your cheeks turn cold and silence grabs your breath
