Slumbertime in the war

Sleep my darling,
you're safe from the pain,
in the grey sky outside,
bombs fall down like rain.

Hush, my sweet little baby,
go to sleep,
shut out the horror going 'round,
as the world weeps.
In your safe little crib,
there you lie,
as beyond the beyond,
thousands are tortured,
praying to die.

BRIDGE:
As you close those baby blue eyes,
I hear a 'Mummy Goodnight.'
And around us, turmoil unfurls,
your in your slumber,
too young for the world...

CHORUS:

The space around us is shaking,
the sky falls,
and you're the only thing
thats keeping me from breaking.
The war, that polluted the outside,
the war, that banished the light.
the war, that changed the day to night.
high in the chains of sorrow
I'm praying for a tomorrow,
in the blackness of today...




Your dreams catch you,
my precious cherub,
and the red of the slain,
dominates the sea's blue.

And many innocents are under arrest
as I sing your lullaby,
they scream and protest
some try to run
but are silenced quickly,
from the shot of the monster's gun.

And they kill without regret,
leaving a path
strewn with the dying and the dead.


BRIDGE
CHORUS


As we wait for this massacre to finish
as we wait for the shadows to diminish,
I'm looking at your peaceful face
the only thing that's keeping me sane
and as long as you're here,
i can wait
as long as your alive...
i'll still have faith...
and I'll live past the hurt
so I can uncover
the future we all deserve..

and you're in your slumber,
too young for the world..


CHORUS.
