Coldsleep Lullaby

Sleep, my darling, sleep
Say good-bye to Mother Earth
No more tears to weep
As we leave the planet of our birth

Sleep, beloved, sleep
Say your prayers then close your eyes
We've promises to keep
Brand new lives to build beneath new skies

We've shed the dust of Terra - broken free
Enclosed ourselves in ice to sleep the years
And when we rise our eyes will finally see
A new dawn shining bright through all our fears

So sleep, my darling, sleep
Years will pass before we wake
We ride upon the deep
Our star-born legacy to finally take

This parting of the ways was long ordained
We know not where we'll end up or how far
But no regrets, no cares, will bar our way
As we spread ourselves like dust throughout the stars

So sleep, my darling, sleep
Say good-bye to Mother Earth
No more tears to weep
