LILT: Mein Herz Brennt 1.1

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice arrests
I've brought you all a special treat
I tore it out from deep in my 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
Demons and ghosts and the blackened fay
They creep out from the cellar shaft
And look under bedding where you all lay

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 cold and twisted 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
