Traditional & Gordon GanoAbout
This is Gordon Gano’s take on a traditional bedtime prayer – extensively paraphrased in popular culture, from Aerosmith, Metallica and Megadeth to Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and 2Pac.
It was released with the title “Requiem for Nico” as a B-Side to the single “Sleepwalkin'” and later only as “Requiem”...
Requiem Lyrics
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
Now I lay me down to die
I pray the lord my soul to high
And if I only fall asleep
I pray the lord my dreams to keep
For life and death have we come one
And all my deeds are left undone
And if you only hear my voice
I cry the board, cry make no choice
Now we lay us down to sleep
We pray the lord our souls to keep
And if we die before we wake
We pray the lord our souls to take
