Hush
It's cold out tonight, the stars are so quiet
The water's frozen, the tears have fallen
I can feel you crying
I know you're scared, that you want to go home
But hush, my baby, don't say a word.
Soft spoken whipsers on a memory's wing
Herald a nightmare from times gone past
A world full of sin
And no-one knows what's happened to the world we're living in
But hush, my baby, don't say a word.
A funeral bell tolls in the distance
And the sky is split apart by lightning from heaven
The thunderous sorrow of a thousand angels
And the silent reflections of a hundred demons
Haunt you and make you want to scream forever
But hush, my baby, don't say a word.
Hush, goodbye, my baby soft and blue
You know the bad dreams are coming after you
Give me your hand, I'll hold on tight
Close your eyes until you see the light
Don't cry, my sweet, don't say a word
Hush, goodbye, my baby soft and blue
The blackness approaches upon the horizon
And the dark clouds scream softly your name
The shadows of the sea watch with empty eyes
As the night threatens my darling
The warmth of my touch, is there, and it's enough
(Now hush, my baby, sweet sweet hush).
The sun slowly sets, and the moon rises high
The darkness ensues, the blood skies nigh
The heavens rain tears, and God weeps at His loss
The thunder crashes, the lightning splits the sky with hellish fury
The earth shatters, the elements rage destruction on the world
Hell unleashed, the peace deceased, the words buried
But hush, my baby, don't say a word.
And now all is silent and the earth is at rest
The tears have run out
The blood spilt on the ground, testament to the final slaughter
But don't get lonely now
We've seen this through, the world is ours forever
And as the dawn approaches, we'll watch it come
And bathe in its warmth
'Cause the fighting's over, the war is done
And yet - hush, my baby
No more words....
All that we've regretted...
