From the silence, from the night
Comes a distant lullaby...
Cry, remember that first cry,
Your brother standing by
And loved, both loved
Beloved sons of mine.
Sing a lullaby
Mother is close by
Innocent eyes,
Such innocent eyes
Envy stole your brother's life;
Came home martyred, peace of mind.
Left you nightmares on the pillow.
Sleep now...
Soul, surrendering your soul,
The heart of you not whole
For love, but love walked on
Cast into the dark
Branded with the mark.
Of shame, of Cain.
From the garden of God's light
To a wilderness of night.
Sleep now
Sleep now.
