"Requiem" lyrics - VIOLENT FEMMES

VIOLENT FEMMES
"Requiem"

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
