Hypnos

Sleep, take me now and never let me wake

Still in your hands, in your kingdom I'll be yours to break

Sleep, I am tired. I have blundered on to a path where I don't belong

Still in your land, I'll be safe from where I could go wrong

Promise me a silver dream

Let your silence flow over me

Give me serenity and take away my will

Let your silence flow over me

Ghosts hold no pain

I surrendered years ago

Life has no claim on me

Let me slip quietly beneath

the pulsing noise of everyday

Life has no claim on me

Sleep, if I beg you, will you bleed all memory from my veins

Cold in your arms, I'll have given all my hurt away

I am not afraid

I have waited on your doorstep too long

Take back my name

Close my eyes and turn my face away
