LILT: Mein Herz Brennt 1.3

I'm tempted to promote this, but have hung fire for now:
Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillows my voice arrests
I've brought you all a special treat
I extracted it from my own chest

With this heart I have the power
Where your wee eyelids are concerned
I sing until the night's last hour
And glowing light on high returns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
The blackest fay and ghosts and demons
They creep out from the cellar shaft
And look under bedding where you're hidden

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice bestirs
I've brought you all a special treat
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
And steal your heated little tears of pain
They wait until the moon awakes
And put them into my twisted and cold veins

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice recurs
I sing until the day relieves
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
