- Death Whispered A Lullaby Lyrics / with translationsOut on the road there are fireflies circling
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Under the fog, there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, hold my hand
Into the dark, there are eyelids closing
Buried alive in the shifting sands
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life, all your memories
Go to your dreams, forget it all
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Under the fog, there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, hold my hand
Into the dark, there are eyelids closing
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life, all your memories
Go to your dreams, forget it all
Sleep my child, sleep my child
Sleep my child, sleep my child
