Iron Lullabies

Heavy gears turn slow and low

Underneath the iron snow

Close your eyes and breathe the dust

Softly letting go of trust

(sleep now)

Drift beneath the steel and stone

You are quiet, not alone

Let the low machines descend

Where the waking hours end (hmmm-mm)

Cables rest along the floor

Locks fall shut upon the door

Every signal fades away

Folding down the edge of day

Let it fall

Let it slow (sleep)
