Lullaby of War ft. SilentEcho Lyrics

Sleep child

Please lie down and close your eyes

And try to find a safe place in your mind

Watch out

But hide your eyes from what's outside

Cause there is no defence for that sight

Sleep child

And don't be scared if you wake up

And cannot find me here

I'm still there

In your mind

But taken from the earth

Cause there was no place for us

On these holy grounds

Rest

You'll need all the sleep you can get

And trust none

Cause we haven't got you covered yet

Stop running around

There's no way to get out of this cage

Stop screaming at them

They won't help anyway

It's too late

We're born into fear

And shaped by a frame

Made of flames

Scorched as we are

They still say

They won't help

Cause we did this to ourselves

No wonder you've been sleep walking again

Let's try to levitate away

Sleep child

I know you want to leave with me

But they accept no exit from our streets

Breathe out

But hide your face when you inhale

Cause even air is not safe here

Sleep child

No need to wake up just to see

That there is no more childhood here

It's been condemned by fear

By all the lives lost here

By lack of rights,

Lack of trust,

Lack of hope

That there can be a future here

Rest

You'll need all the sleep you can get

And trust none

Cause we haven't got you covered yet

Stop running around

There's no way to get out of this cage

Stop screaming at them

They won't help anyway

It's too late

Remember charred feet

Won't recognize how water feels

Burned by the fires that leave

Your childhood buried underneath

All your broken dreams

They say we did this to ourselves

To justify that they won't help

So try to levitate away

Maybe that can keep you

From sleep walking again
