Sleep Sleep Sweetheart lyrics

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
