Lullaby歌詞

Your pillow's wet, your sweat is cold
You fear the stories you've been told
Your parents will stay out all night
They're mad at you 'cause you started a fight
Your room is empty, noone's there
And still you sense him everywhere
Your mothers' hand still burns on your face
If only you could leave this place
Sandman's coming
Bringing sleep
His dreams will make you smile or weep
His laughter's heard all through the night
Pray that you get off with a fright
You do not dare to close you eyes
You know he'll get you otherwise
You try to stay awake all night
But fall asleep and lose the fight
And suddenly your mind awakes
And opens the forbidden gates
The hellish powers go their way
To take your silly life away
Sandman's coming
Bringing sleep
His dreams will make you smile or weep
His laughter's heard all through the night
Pray that you get off with a fright
You're overwhelmed by deep despair
Hissing voices fill the air
Within the tenderness of sleep
Lie agony and pain indeed
Morning rises, the skies are blue
Your parents return to talk to you
They call your name and step right to your bed
But they're too late, your heart stops dead
Sandman's coming
Bringing sleep
His dreams will make you smile or weep
His laughter's heard all through the night
Pray that you get off with a fright
And when you listen to the crying
For all the children that are dying
You might once hear a quiet laughter
It's Sandman, now and everafte
