Nightmare Lullaby - Those Poor Bastards

All of this will pass

I swear that it is true

And someday it will all begin anew

Oh my darling girl

Don’t you ruin your health

By living for the emptiness of wealth

Lay your soul to rest

And I will sing for you

A nightmare lullaby

A nightmare lullaby

I know it can be hard

When you live alone

And your body is a single aching bone

Now it’s getting cold

Summer ends so fast

And winter comes for everyone

At last

Lay your soul to rest

And I will sing for you

A nightmare lullaby

A nightmare lullaby

Be content with death

And disappointment too

For misery is life’s golden rule

All these wicked dreams

I made them just for you

I tell you this to justify your blues

Lay your soul to rest

And I will sing for you

A nightmare lullaby

A nightmare lullaby
