Sing me a song before I sleep
Love me again as once before
I will not beg, will not implore
That is the past, it's buried deep
Can you remember how we were
And let me hear your vibrant voice
Am I ignored, losing my choice
Am I still left adrift, unsure
Your dreams were mine in times long past
My thoughts still linger over you
But never wanting to pass through
A wistful, waning shadow cast
The music is the best you give
But still it tears my heart apart
It will not end, will always start
After the coda still I live
Dying embers stoked with breathing
Burst into flaming streaks of loss
That dissipate before a joss
Bow before it calm but seething
Idols never give what you need
Hear again the pagans strumming
Instruments that start you humming
Tears my flesh, yet again I bleed
You do this without thought or care
Letting out the hounds of terror
Just to cover up your error
Beware my darling, please beware
This will be the end, am I right
This will be the night without light
Pass from my vision, from my sight
It is the end, it is the night.
