Lullaby - Obsidian Voice

[00:16.29]Your pillow's wet, your sweat is cold
[00:22.01]You fear the stories you've been told
[00:26.65]Your parents will stay out all night
[00:32.52]They're mad at you 'cause you started a fight
[00:39.91]Your room is empty, noone's there
[00:45.93]And still you sense him everywhere
[00:51.95]Your mothers' hand still burns on your face
[00:56.49]If only you could leave this place
[01:04.66]Sandman's coming
[01:08.79]Bringing sleep
[01:12.62]His dreams will make you smile or weep
[01:20.32]His laughter's heard all through the night
[01:28.53]Pray that you get off with a fright
[01:39.15]You do not dare to close you eyes
[01:45.25]You know he'll get you otherwise
[01:51.26]You try to stay awake all night
[01:55.80]But fall asleep and lose the fight
[02:03.39]And suddenly your mind awakes
[02:09.29]And opens the forbidden gates
[02:15.24]The hellish powers go their way
[02:19.97]To take your silly life away
[02:28.24]Sandman's coming
[02:31.92]Bringing sleep
[02:35.51]His dreams will make you smile or weep
[02:43.52]His laughter's heard all through the night
[02:51.38]Pray that you get off with a fright
[03:01.34]You're overwhelmed by deep despair
[03:07.65]Hissing voices fill the air
[03:12.99]Within the tenderness of sleep
[03:17.55]Lie agony and pain indeed
[03:28.70]Morning rises, the skies are blue
[03:34.18]Your parents return to talk to you
[03:39.92]They call your name and step right to your bed
[03:46.35]But they're too late, your heart stops dead
[03:54.01]Sandman's coming
[03:57.93]Bringing sleep
[04:01.57]His dreams will make you smile or weep
[04:09.15]His laughter's heard all through the night
[04:17.27]Pray that you get off with a fright
[04:29.17]And when you listen to the crying
[04:34.25]For all the children that are dying
[04:40.04]You might once hear a quiet laughter
[04:46.38]It's Sandman, now and everafter
