Nightingale

Nightingale sing though it's blacker than the bog

Nightingale sing to me, I need to hear your song

Nightingale come and perch upon my tree

A terrifying light's been flashing over me

I would not bear to rest

I would not dare to dream

Till the Nightingale came

And sang a song for me

She'll sing above the blasts and the clothing singed by fire

She'll sing above the black smoke rising from the funeral pyre

Her heart a field in bloom, her heart a sacred snow

Her heart a mirror blinding all the greedy as they go

I would not bear to rest

I would not dare to dream

Till the Nightingale came

And sang a song for me

I cannot help but want to solder all the parts

Solder back together all the shattered hearts

Nightingale come and perch upon my tree

The terrifying night's been crashing over me

I would not bear to rest

I would not dare to dream

Till the Nightingale came

And sang a song for me

I would not bear to rest

I would not dare to dream

Till the Nightingale came

And sang a song for me
