Ongkara - Lullaby Lyrics
(Lay your sleeping head my loveHuman on my faithless arms)[Verse 1]Time and fevers burn awayBeauty (from thoughtful) childAnd the graveProves the child ephemeralBut in my arms till break of dayLet the living creature lieMortal, guilty but to meThe entirely beautiful[Verse 2]So let the winds of dawn that blow(Softly round your dreaming head)Such a day of welcome showEye and knocking hearth may blessFind our mortal world enoughNoons of dryness find you fedBy the involuntary powersNights of insult let you passWatched by every human love[Bridge](Certainty fidelityOn the stroke of midnight passLike vibrations of a bellAnd fashionable madmen raiseTheir pathetic cryEvery cent of dollarAnd all that dreaded cards foretellShould be paid but from this nightNot a whisper not a thoughtNot a kiss nor look be lost)[Hook]You are mortalMortal, mortal, mortal...
