Lullaby

Goodnight my sweet may sleep bring you some peace
And I pray that your dreams are free from disease
And I wish you the best in your eternal rest
And I hope that you are blessed with the sweetest of dreams

I'll sing to your grave on the gloomiest of days
Of the joy that you gave to the saddest of tunes
And as misery croons to the darkness that looms
I will follow you soon to the land of your dreams

For each consequence is played at our expense
And the only defence is the sleep of the tomb
And my tears are consumed as the black blossoms bloom
In the darkest of rooms I will join your sweetest dreams
