Lyrics
A minute more

'Til the light of day is seen

Lay down

I know you must be nearly there

A bloody kiss

And the vision of a dream

For the last of your days in the sun

In the white light I am calm

Yet peculiarly cold

Silent slumber

And wide awake

Lord have mercy on my soul

So long

Your sorrow be gone

(Show me how it feels to be alive)

No more denial

So long

(Let us find a place where we can hide)

You fed me long

And by God you fed me well

Sleep tight

This day belongs to you my dear

And I am bound

Like a beast onto its prey

We are one of a kind you and I

Pale moon wander

I'm wide awake

Lord have mercy on my soul

So long

Your sorrow be gone

(Show me how it feels to be alive)

No more denial

So long

(Show me all the splendors of the night)

So long

The little last of your attention

Sorrow

This flood to wash your mind

See me

The God of your imagination

Feel me

Come with me tonight

So long

Your sorrow be gone

Show me how it feels to be alive

No more denial

So long
