Sleep Forever Sleep [SLFSL]

Mina's Song

The day has passed beyond our power.
The petals close upon the flower.
The light is falling in this hour
Of day's last waning breath.

The blackness of the night surrounds
The distant souls of stars now found.
Far from this world to which we're bound,
Of sorrow, fear, and death.

Sleep, love, forever sleep.
Your soul the night will keep.
Embrace the darkness deep.
Sleep, love, forever sleep.

The gathering darkness takes our souls,
Embracing us in chilling folds,
Deep in a Mistress's void that holds
Our fate within her hands.

Dream, warriors, of the dark above
And feel the sweet redemption of
The Night's Consort, and of her love
For those within her bands.

Sleep, love, forever sleep.
Your sould the night will keep.
Embrace the darkness deep.
Sleep, love, forever sleep.

We close our eyes, our minds at rest,
Submit our wills to her behest,
Our weakness to her confessed,
And to her will we bend.

The strength of silence fills the sky,
Its depths beyond both you and I.
Into its arms our souls will fly,
Where fear and sorrows end.

Sleep, love, forever sleep.
Your soul the night will keep.
Embrace the darkness deep.
Sleep, love, forever sleep.
