Sleep Sleep Sweetheart Lyrics - Darkseed

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
