Songtext von Sleep Sleep Sweetheart

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
