Lullaby of the Crucified

My angel closed your eyes, I'll be your lover tonight
Pitiful lullaby, I'll be your lover tonight

My own misery is taunting me
The air stings my lungs, I can barely see
Wicked eyes surrounding me, the trees are watching silently
I could try to run, but, baby, what's the point?

I may never know
(I don't see the point)
Why I let you go

My body is aching (I'm losing my mind)
There's nothing to hold onto
(My angel, close your eyes)
(I'll be your lover tonight)
I'm tired of trying (I'm sick of the waiting)
If there's nothing that I can do
(A pitiful lullaby)
(To sing the tortured to sleep)

We could settle down and change the end
Nothing but time, start over again
All the little things you do that made me fall in love with you
Have led me to this, a bittersweet abyss

I may never know
(A vexatious kiss)
Why I let you go

My body is aching (I'm losing my mind)
There's nothing to hold onto
(My angel, close your eyes)
(I'll be your lover tonight)
I'm tired of trying (I'm sick of the waiting)
If there's nothing that I can do
(A pitiful lullab)
(To sing the tortured to sleep)

I will follow you into the night (my darling eyes)
I would do anything to be lying with you
As I watch you, dream

(Nel mezzo del cammini di nostra vita)
(Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura)
(Ché la diritta via era smarrita)
(Questa selva selvaggia e aspra e forte)
(Chi rinnova la paura nei pensieri)
(Lo non so ben ridir com'i' v'intrai)
(Tant'era pien di sonno a quel punto)

(Che la verace via abbandonai)
(Guardai in alto e vidi le sue spalle)
(Vestite già de' raggi del pianeta)
(Che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle)
(Così l'animo mio, ch'ancor fuggiva)
(Si volse a retro a rimirar lo passo)
(Che non lasciò già mai persona viva)

I have been reborn
I have broken free
I'm free! I'm free
You can't deny me
Do not defy me
Abandon all hope for beyond time I stand
I have been reborn

(Darling, tonight we say goodbye)
(Sing a touching lullaby)
(And we'll watch the angels cry)
(Sing a touching lullaby)
(And we'll watch the angels cry)
