Let Us Sleep This Night (Angel of Sadness)

Let us sleep tonight, I’ll give you war tomorrow I’ll rise with my feather in hand this morning But let us sleep tonight Wake up to sentimental ashes, the world is burning Just let us sleep this night War comes by the sky’s, moves like the clouds A hundred to one, foes to friends I rush any suspicious crowd To this day, my option to live with nothing to lose Let us sleep tonight Touch hands, massage love into a one man stand Into the night, into our lust, passion merely a must Lay me a peace, next to a willowed pillow, smile Lay me deceased, this decaying image is your child I only ask that you let us sleep tonight Dated my fashion, humble with rations After tonight my thoughts crumble, bittersweet fractions Withering away as this darkness weathers today Now I lay me down as made, soon my love our tears will fade As an enemy, let us sleep tonight I’ll rise with my feather tips in the morning My lord let us sleep tonight Awaken to friendly ashes, for the world is burning
