Take the sun away
Bloom no flower
Call the voices off
Send the angels to shelter
The dark rolls in

Lay me down
Encompass me
With violets

Where there was hope
Let there now be sorrow
Let no sparrow sing
Light the candles and incense
The clouds roll in

Lay me down
Encompass me
With lilacs

Steal my sight away
Spare no smile on me
Let the wells run dry
Tell my guardian it's over
The night crawls in

Lay me down
Encompass me
With darkness

Lay me down
Encompass me
With silence
