SCHLAFLOS – Sleepless

My angel if you watch
My angel if you watch over me
I’ll listen in the dark
no breath
just
fear
I
that heavy hour
before twilight
ghostly yesterdays
revenge retribution
black thoughts in a round dance
My angel you help me get beyond
if you sleep
I am lost
if your wing protects me
I will find morning
find my way to the light
