Lullaby of the Crucified

Lyrics

[Intro: Shawn Milke] My angel, close your eyes, I'll be your lover tonight Pitiful lullaby, I'll be your lover tonight [Verse 1: Shawn Milke] My own misery is taunting me The air stings my lungs, I can barely see Wicked eyes surrounding me, the trees are watching silently I could try to run, but baby, what's the point? [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] I may never know (I don't see the point) Why I let you go [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] My body is aching (I'm losing my mind) There's nothing to hold onto My angel, close your eyes, I'll be your lover tonight I'm tired of trying (I'm sick of the waiting) If there's nothing that I can do A pitiful lullaby to sing the tortured to sleep [Verse 2: Shawn Milke] We could settle down and change the end Nothing but time, start over again All the little things you do that made me fall in love with you Have led me to this, a bittersweet abyss [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] I may never know (A vexatious kiss) Why I let you go [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] My body is aching (I'm losing my mind) There's nothing to hold onto My angel, close your eyes, I'll be your lover tonight I'm tired of trying (I'm sick of the waiting) If there's nothing that I can do A pitiful lullaby to sing the tortured to sleep [Post-Chorus: Shawn Milke] I will follow you into the night (My darling eyes) I would do anything to be lying with you as I watch you dream [Bridge] Nel mezzo del cammini di nostra vita Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura Ch� la diritta via era smarrita Questa selva selvaggia e aspra e forte Chi rinnova la paura nei pensieri Lo non so ben ridir com'i' v'intrai Tant'era pien di sonno a quel punto Che la verace via abbandonai Guardai in alto e vidi le sue spalle Vestite gi� de' raggi del pianeta Che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle Cos� l'animo mio, ch'ancor fuggiva Si volse a retro a rimirar lo passo Che non lasci� gi� mai persona viva [Outro: Dennis Lee, Choir] I have been reborn (Sing a touching lullaby; darling, tonight we say goodbye) I have broken free, I'm free, I'm free (And we'll watch the angels cry; darling, tonight we say goodbye) You can't deny me, do not defy me (Sing a touching lullaby; darling, tonight we say goodbye) Abandon all hope for beyond time, I stand (Sing a touching lullaby; darling, tonight we say goodbye) I have been reborn (Sing a touching lullaby; darling, tonight we say goodbye) Sing a touching lullaby; darling, tonight And we'll watch the angels cry; we say goodbye Sing a touching lullaby; darling, tonight And we'll watch the angels cry; we say goodbye
