Dear child
Why don't you cry tonight?
Dear child
Where did you go last night?
Dear child
Where are you sleeping tonight?
Dear child
Where are you sleeping tonight?
A softspoken ancient man
Took you far away
With his choking silent breath
And his crippled cruel hands
To the lands far beyond
The shadows of the moon
These are the lands, I dare not to travel
These are the borders, I dare not to pass
These are the nights, I stay awake
This is the silence, I wish to fade
I prayed to the heavens in vain
But this spiteful god
He loves to see man suffer
Loves to behold our bleeding
I look at the moon
And hate the silence
I look at the shadows
And curse the silence
These are the lands, I dare not to travel
These are the borders, I dare not to pass
These are the nights, I stay awake
This is the silence, I wish to fade
I prayed to the heavens in vain
But this spiteful god
He loves to see man suffer
Loves to behold our bleeding
I look at the moon
And hate the silence
I look at the shadows
And curse the silence
It feels like deities love to open scars
Pouring salt into bleeding wounds
Knowing some sears never stop
Hoping these woes will never end
Dear child
And so it came to an end
On the first of many restless, sleepless nights
Untouched by the lashes of life
Before the first light of a new day
You went forever away
Into the silence of this night
Of that terrible, cold night
