Whisper of Azrael

By Ragendhu Sanjayan

Sleep, sleep, little doll

Don't let this cruel world 

Dull the glow in your eyes

Let the soft silk bed 

Be your good friend 

Look at the night sky

So bright, so quiet 

Go chat with the owls

Listen to their tale of the day

What do you learn, my dear?  

Sleep through the day

The light that brings no joy

Don't let this cosmos

Swell your eyes with tears

And wound your tender heart 

Hold on to the silver light

Wake up the moon child in you 

Lay under its divine glow 

There, embrace my warmth 

And place your hand on mine

Sleep, sleep, little doll

Never unseal your eyes 

Too early for blinding lights

And witness the dark deeds 

Of the days beneath 

Draw in the curtains

And turn your face away

Let your long hair fall free 

Don't allow the golden rays

To leak and sink in through

This realm you preach isn't yours

Their humming tunes deceive

And your authentic soul 

Took birth to reign over

The Elysian Fields

Look me in the eye 

What do you find, sweetie?

Do you see a different life?

Come above the stars

And be my little princess

Sleep, sleep, little doll

Let's escape this place

From their rotten hearts 

And you'll find eternal peace

Will you take my hand, my love?
