Steel Cradle

(shhh) (close

your

eyes)

Sleep now under iron skies

Let the embers gently fade

Close your heavy tired eyes

Rest beneath the velvet shade (mmm)

I will guard the quiet gate

Keep the jagged night at bay

Let go of the crushing weight

Dream until the break of day

Slumber deep, the

world is still

(I will watch until the dawn)

Rest your heart on iron hill

All the howling storm is gone

(ahhhh) (drift away)

No more battles to be won

(safe and sound) Sleep until the rising sun (shhh)
