lyrics

Shut your mouth and go to sleep -
a casual line that cuts so deep and left you victim as a child
And later on you couldn't sleep
and thought "Now is the time to speak" -
but you stayed numb.

Shut your mouth and go to sleep -
and all the secrets that you keep will leave their closets and their graves
They'll haunt you like a melody
expect them like an enemy that couldn't kill during the day

Shut your mouth and go to sleep -
a love and hate that dare not speak will surely take its toll
Then you're talking in your sleep
Behold, the trust is not so deep to save your heart when you're awake

And so I'm placing flowers on the graves
of the private cemetary in my mind
And how could I die with a smile on my face
when my headstone was made by an indian child

My dreams can never be as wild
as the things I'd say when I stayed awake

All of our children that we left by the door
will be sent to their beds
like they are sent to their graves

That's how a real good boy behaves!
And tell me now why shouldn't I
shut my mouth and go to sleep?

New wave of Gothic Rock at it's finest. This band has top level talent from well renowned acts involved so wasn't the least bit surprised upon hearing the opening track. If you miss late 80's to mid 90's gothic rock bands, I can't recommend this one enough. m4rkos1334

"Life is a black abyss". But ironically some dreams coming true after all. I remember I've been trying to dig up the authors of this music led me through the darkest times of my life having "Psalm" on my mind. Since then, the band came from shadows of the underground (at least for several people) and now, three years past, I have a pleasure to listen to these significant songs in quality they deserve. Long afterlife to the Kings. They were born to reign our minds, you just didn't know it yet! Bloody Paul
