Lyrics & Translation
In a second
I may not have you anymore
You are no more than this
Our house exploding
A weapon piercing my body
A body piercing your flesh
Even if we no longer have
You can die here
Your angel friends don't matter
Nor your desire to eat a cake
Nor my new dress
Nor my old dress
Sleep quickly before you die
Sleep quickly before you die
Sleep, before the missile passes
In a second
I may not have you anymore
You are no more than this
Our house exploding
A weapon piercing my body
A body piercing your flesh
Even if we no longer have
You can die here
Your angel friends don't matter
Nor your desire to eat a cake
Nor my new dress
Nor my old dress
Sleep quickly before you die
Sleep quickly before you die
It's raining fire
And the streets are burning
Everyone watching us helpless
Our blood melting
Along with the world that is ending
It didn't work out
So much work, so much time
Planet to be made, people to be made
It didn't work out
Sleep quickly before you die
Sleep quickly before you die
This is for the little children of Nassiria, Najaf, in Baghdad
A lullaby
This is for the little children of Nassiria, Najaf, in Baghdad
A lullaby
Sleep quickly before you die
Sleep quickly before you die
Sleep quickly before you die
Sleep quickly before you die
