Lyrics
The night-wind swallows you
The night-wind symbolically consumes or envelops you.
Eats you up in lust and smiles, silently
It indulges in desire and pleasure, doing so quietly.
Sleep, sleep, sweetheart
An invitation for the listener to sleep, emphasizing endearment.
Dream and forget our misery
Suggests escaping reality through dreams, leaving behind suffering.
A mortal fever haunts the dying earth
Describes a pervasive, fatal illness affecting the world.
Our hearts and souls stand still and wince
Conveys a sense of despair and numbness in our hearts and souls.
I can't save your day,
The inability to rescue or save someone from their troubles.
Rescue won't take your hand,
Highlighting that external help won't reach out to offer assistance.
So sleep the day away
Suggests spending time in a state of unconsciousness to avoid pain.
Sleep, my dear
A caring expression urging a loved one to sleep and find peace.
And our god hides in calm
Reference to a deity finding solace in tranquility.
I whisper while your eyes are shut
Whispering words during slumber, possibly expressing hidden emotions.
And don't see this hell on earth
Acknowledges the harsh reality unseen when eyes are closed in sleep.
Sleep, sleep sweetheart, never wake up
An urging to remain in a state of perpetual rest and not wake up.
You are not made for this world's grinning pain
Suggests that the listener is not suited for the painful aspects of the world.
Shining eyes, they are no more, sleep well

Veins getting cold and the shadows lurk, shadows lurk
Implies a chilling and ominous atmosphere with lurking shadows.
I long for new born lights divine and pure
Expresses a yearning for a new, pure beginning with divine light.
A clearing rain to wash our dirt away
Desires a cleansing rain to wash away the impurities of existence.
A mortal fever haunts the dying earth
Reiteration of the mortal fever affecting the world.
Our hearts and souls stand still and wince
Repeats the numbness and stillness in the hearts and souls of individuals.
Content dance the snakes

For their work now's completed

Their poison creeps

I whisper while your cheeks turn cold and silence grabs your breath
Continuation of whispering, noting the coldness and stillness in the listener.
