The sheet music:
Lyrics
From the silence, from the night
Comes a distant lullaby
Cry, remember that first cry
Your brother standing by
And loved both loved, beloved sons of mine
Sing a lullaby, mother is close by
Innocent eyes, such innocent eyes
Envy stole your brother’s life
Came home, murdered peace of mind
Left you nightmares on the pillow
Sleep now Soul, surrendering your soul
The heart of you not whole for love
But love what toll? Cast into the dark
Branded with the mark of shame of Cain
From the garden of God’s light
To a wilderness of night
Sleep now, sleep now
