God natt, Marie (Good night, Marie)

Silently resting on her pillow
Safe from the outside, worlds away
Wandering roads that shape tomorrow
Built from the cares of yesterday
Darkness looms in every corner
Smile and the shadows hide away
Softly, the whisper 'nealth your window
Deep is the fear that's here to stay

Pale as the moon
Dark as the dream that haunts you
Arms that you never run to
Blood on the hands before you
Though you know the way

Cold are the hearts that lie behind you
Blue are the bells that toll tonight
Somewhere distant eyes remind you
Come are the days of sleepless nights
Swift is the soul with lies that find you
Yearning for freedom, endlessly
Bearing the words of ties that bind you
Once and for all, Goodnight, Marie

Pale as the moon adores you
Dark as the dream you walk through
Blood on the hands before you
And arms they can never run to
Cruel, with a heart to see through
You'll cry, come what may...
