Another star on the night sky A set of white wings to fly And travel to a holy land Another coin to crown my hand... Over a tiny angel to be Playing on the clouds eternally
You're such a little snake Little snake sister Squeeze and brake Twist and shake Hurry before the sleepy ones awake Ofelia my darling, don't you give in to the echoes within
Ofelia queen of heartache and sorrow Carving nightmares out of dreams You can scream as you go No one will ever know I'm saving you from the pain of tomorrow And pray you'll find a halo where you go
I thank you mothers for the children left behind And all the money I can carry This life may treat me kind
Heartbeats Such a sweet little sound Small feet Won't touch the ground
The maker of angels leads the way From the cradle to the grave And how she sings that lullaby Straight from her stone Into the light alone
Sisters you will go to hell And so you might as well Stay in the shadows working You know I won't tell... Avoid getting your soul signed You should get away, Get away from the one Who is playing with your mind
Ofelia queen of heartache and sorrow Carving nightmares out of dreams You can scream as you go No one will ever know I'm saving you from the pain of tomorrow And pray you'll find a halo where you go
I thank you mothers for the children left behind And all the money I can carry This life may treat me kind
Se neat Every finger and toe Small feet Will never grow
The maker of angels leads the war From the cradle to the grave And how she sings that lullaby Straight from her stone Into the light alone
How come these foul accusations? He made me save them from tears Singing my lullaby I've had my heart and soul controlled by the raven And for the crime he should be Sent to live beneath instead of me
Order in the court She has denied And now the jury will decide To what extent This Angelmaker lied
Goodnight Ofelia! By the rope you will hang for carving nightmares out of dreams We will feed on your fear no one will shed a tear Ofelia you won't see tomorrow And black is the shame in your eyes as you go
I damn you mothers for the children left behind And all the guilt I have to carry Life did not treat me kind
The maker of angels leads the way From the cradle to the grave And how she sings that song Straight from her stone Into the light alone
