While my Pretty One Sleeps Lyrics


I watch the fear dance

from my place,

Silent breath we shall embrace

Mighty father I am your son

You were the two, I am the one

Unending choirs chant unending hymns

Deep in your slumber my time begins

Spit up words of disdain

I taste the rain

Raging in my thoughts

I pray to slice out the moon.

Hold it in my hands,

breath into it new life

Then fall from the sky,

and become a specter of delight

Glistening your pretty eyes

surrounded by the night-time lies

They did fall, we drank our wine, they did die

Tranquil waters and black roses,

we met and  loved where the cliffs did end

They did fall, we drank our wine, they did die
