Down With The Sun Lyrics - Across The Dark - Insomnium

O darkness, if in thy arms I could rest 

For a while and with these earthly eyes 

See thy dim smile 

Maid of twilight, lass of duskfall 

Hang the moon on the sky's arch 

Soothe the weight of a darkling day 

Croon me into the slumber 

"Rock here in the birch's lap 

Swing in the manor of wind 

Lay down your weary head 

Let the blue stars darken" 

O silence, if in thy cradle I could sway 

Like a child, heart the amending song, 

The sighing of the shades 

Maid of twilight, lass of duskfall 

Serve thy goblet to me 

Let me drink to the last drop 

The sweet opiate of the dreams: 

Ours is the silence, 

The echo old ageless night 

A gleam in the blackest of streams, 

One fleeing moment 

For vain is all the toil and trouble, 

Vain is all the heartbreak 

In the end I'll find my solace 

In an earthen cradle 

So good night.
