Num pacem dormire potui? Remissio mea aeterna erit


In a cradle of coffins
A violet lily grows
Essence of beauty
Taken too soon

Can our sin be forgiven?
Will our tears be enough?
Give us the strength
To carry this burden of shame

Her grief and sorrow now softens
With the song of the crows
An end to her duty
To a brother of blood

A lullaby
A serenade of haunted dreams
A final resting place for me
Princess of sleep, you live on

Your discarded sweet petals
Of a life long forsaken
Another half of a world unwound
Your name forever sealed in the bud

Through my most grievous fault
Divided in heart
You are forever unbound
A life within the purple palisades

Can a caged divinity be saved?
Or will I feel the piercing nightmare
A curse, pure and radiant
A love to shrive clean the hearts of men

A lullaby
A serenade of haunted dreams
A final resting place for me
Princess of sleep, you live on

You have forgiven all iniquity
The sweetest succor of your heart
Unwavering and boundless
A tainted nectar

Imbibed and granted eternal rest
Brought to our knees
A desire to hear your song
Lay adrift in the dark

In search of shelter
In the solitude of sin
Only you provide
A love to remain until the throes of death


The peace of deepest slumber
Can be so very hard to resist
