If late at night

You hear a sound

Of thunder all around

That doesn’t sleep

It only dreams

Inside your heart

Well, you should know

I hear it too

As cruel and loud as you

It rules the night

It’s crisp and cruel

A simple phrase

“Forget about the things you need to happen

You’re not really here

You met your end

Ages ago”

These ancient tongues

That call our names

And treat us both the same

There is a way

We can survive

Beyond the choir

“Forget about the things you need to happen

You’re not really here

You met your end

Ages ago”

If late at night

You hear a sound

Your child needs you now

Don’t let it sleep

Just help it dream

Inside your heart
