Lyrics

(Source: as heard)

	From the silence, from the night,
	Comes a distant lullaby.
	Cry, remember that first cry,
	Your brother standing by,
	And loved, both loved,
	Beloved sons of mine.

	Sing a lullaby,
	Mother is close by.
	Innocent eyes, such innocent eyes,
	Then he stole your brother's life
	Came home, murdered peace of mind
	Left you nightmares on the pillow.
	Sleep now

	Soul, surrending your soul,
	The heart of you not whole
	For love, for love walked on.
	Cast into the dark,
	Branded with a mark
	Of shame, of Cain.

	From a garden of ? light
	To a wilderness of night.
	Sleep now.
	Sleep now.

Alphabetically
