MOTH OF LEAD - LYRICS 

[Intro]
Sleep now, fall asleep
Close your little eyes so deep
The faster dreams come through
The sooner pain lets go of you

Just hold on a little more
Turn away from what you saw
Flashes dancing by the wall
Won’t disturb your sleep at all

Let the skies be torn apart
Close your eyes and guard your heart
Moths of lead are flying blind
Searching for our hearts to find

Midnight strikes, the clock runs dry
Soon the thread will snap and die
So now sleep, don’t say goodbye
Hush-a-bye. Hush-a-bye.


[Verse]
I walk through graves where the playground went silent,
Rows of small names, every stone is an indictment.
I hear echoes of laughter that’ll never come back,
Tiny shoes in the dirt, yeah, the future got whacked.

A thousand dead stares from the dirt in the ground,
Eyes wide open, but the world shut ‘em down.
No nations, no colors, no goddamn “us vs them”,
Just a ledger of corpses and blood on the pen.

Every soldier’s a trigger with a face and a pulse,
“Just following orders” — yeah, that bullshit’s the cult.
You dress murder in medals, call the slaughter “defense”,
Then sleep on the profits, counting bodies as cents.

War’s a business, I ask you: does the money taste sweet?
When the bills smell like graves and ink is made from a kid?
Fuck your tanks and your flags, your heroic disguise,
This ain’t glory, it’s murder — look me dead in the eyes.

[Chorus]
Sleep now, fall asleep
Close your little eyes so deep
The faster dreams come through
The sooner pain lets go of you

Just hold on a little more
Turn away from what you saw
Flashes dancing by the wall
Won’t disturb your sleep at all

Let the skies be torn apart
Close your eyes and guard your heart
Moths of lead are flying blind
Searching for our hearts to find

Midnight strikes, the clock runs dry
Soon the thread will snap and die
So now sleep, don’t say goodbye
Hush-a-bye. Hush-a-bye.

[Post Chorus Russian Language]
Спи засыпай
Глазки закрывай.
Чем быстрее сон прийдет
Тем скорее боль пройдет

Ты немножко потерпи
Не смотри на те огни.
Вспышка света за окном
Не нарушит мирный сон.

Пусть грохочут небеса
Закрывай свои глаза.
Мотыльки из свенца
Ищут путь к нашим сердцам

Часики двенадцать бьют.
Скоро ниточку порвут.
Ты скорее засыпай
Баю-бай! Баю-бай! 

[Chorus Russian]
Спи засыпай
Глазки закрывай.
Чем быстрее сон прийдет
Тем скорее боль пройдет

Ты немножко потерпи
Не смотри на те огни.
Вспышка света за окном
Не нарушит мирный сон.

Пусть грохочут небеса
Закрывай свои глаза.
Мотыльки из свинца
Ищут путь к нашим сердцам

Часики двенадцать бьют.
Скоро ниточку порвут.
Ты скорее засыпай
Баю-бай! Баю-бай! 

[Outro]
I see how we die!
I see how we die!
I see how we die!
I see how we die!

I see how we die!
I see how we die!
I see how we die!
I see how we die!
