Dan Shears & The Velveteen Orkestra - The Rest Is Silence lyrics

Sleep, you lay asleep Blissfully unaware somebody else is there Stood in your Room, plotting your doom Steps towards your bed Over your sleeping frame... You'll never breathe again Sweet ratchet held high It is drawn down on you It's sweet kiss bestowed on you The things we fear most have already happened To us Bravo, what a good show You played your part beautifully, theatrical Ecstasy Sleep, you lay asleep I hope you dream of me... and don't forget who I am
