Deathbedtime Stories

Can you hear the whisper
From the other side
Listen to how silence calls you
As you close your eyes
Can you feel that last blow
Snuff out your lights
Hold tight, you’re coming home now
From cradle to grave
Repeat those great mistakes
And laugh it up when it’s over
Tell me now I want to know
How deathbedtime stories go
Those lullabies of violence
Leading to nevermore
Take me somewhere so unknown
In deathbedtime stories told
Sweet scarytale or gorey swan song
Can you heal your heartbeat
Are you still alive?
I’ll be here while you’re falling
Into infinite night
In the darkest hour
Who’ll count your bones?
Dawn comes, you are home now
From cradle to grave
Concessions will be made
And in the end your life is over
Tell me now I want to know
How deathbedtime stories go
Those lullabies of violence
Leading to nervermore
Take me somewhere so unknown
In deathbedtime stories told
Sweet scarytale or gorey swan song
Till the last breath you take
You exhale I inhale
I grow warm as you grow colder
There’s a promise we made
No exit no escape
We’ll be one once it’s over for you
From cradle to grave
As a slave to the grave
