Wake up little girl   We're running out of time   I know that you've been running   On a long, lost line   They cut your tongue in pieces   Denied you any rights   They burned you with their secrets   And taunted you to bite      You never fear the darkness   The light will only see   The struggle you've been into   The gashes on your knees   The chains of filth and aching   The barbs of suffering   They almost seem more beautiful   Than this life      Just let her sleep. On a bed of wild roses   Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin   As I kiss her goodnight. I kiss her goodbye      I never know, so tell me   The colour of your eyes   It turns all red and scorches   Every time I ask you why   Frightened of the truth   Or can't I recognize the lie   Can I ever find the courage?   To conquer this and…      Just let her sleep. On a bed of wild roses   Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin   As I kiss her goodnight . I kiss her goodbye      Do I wear the mask of your enemies   There's no echo of this sorrowed land   The scars are buried deep   All your trails so many years   Still hunting for the things unknown to man      Just let her sleep. On a bed of white roses   Seems peaceful to me. Thorns pierce her skin   As I kiss her goodnight. I kiss her goodbye
