AS I LAY MYSELF TO SLEEP I PRAY THE LORD MYSELF TO KEEP

AS I LAY MYSELF TO SLEEP I PRAY THE LORD MYSELF TO KEEP

Prayer

"
go to sleep little one
go to hell where there's no prayers
go to heaven where no one hears you
Exit --> life
ENTER --> eternity
(we walk alone)
I TUCKED YOU INTO SOFT ETERNAL SLEEP
be in the never-never land
be in a dream so deep
be - come a shadow of yourself
(i walk alone)
ESCAPE --> self
ENTER --> recycle
One eye open
One eye closed
One night fades, forgotten, decomposed
(my shadow my only friend)
go to sleep little one
go to the place where time dissolves
go to the silence where all resolves
EXIT --> fear
ENTER --> forever
(love always beside me)
