lyrics

Father Darkness, Mother Night
Star crossed lovers never fight
Chaos-born at their first breath
Sleep and his half brother Death

Sleep is like a little death
Bringer of unconsciousness
Death is the perfect sleep
Fields of endless dreams to reap

Gates of ivory and buckhorn
Beyond the land of the rising sun
By the river of Forgetfulness
Sleep and his half brother Death

Floating over your feather bed
Wings sprouting from his head
The darkest black before the dawn
Brings the day to be reborn

Peaceful Death so sublime
Rite of passage throughout time
Sweetest child of youngest grace
Inverted touch upon her face

Twins from birth half of a whole
Ushers of your immortal soul
Both are there at your last breath
Sleep and his half brother Death
Sleep and his half brother Death
Sleep and his half brother Death
