lyrics

IT'S THE END OF THE DAY, A HARD WON DAY
AND YOUR BODY IS ACHING FOR REST
BUT YOUR MIND IS STILL TURNING, RETURNING
TO THE FILES ON YOUR OAK PANNELLED DESK

THE DEAL THAT YOU DID
THE RIOT ACT YOU READ
THE MINISTER YOU FIRED
THE ORDERS YOU DRAFTED
THE AMBASSADOR YOU SLIGHTED
NO WONDER THAT YOU ARE STILL WIRED
CLOSE YOUR EYES, CLOSE YOUR EYES

GOODNIGHT, EMPEROR OF ALL, GOODNIGHT
GOODNIGHT, EMPEROR OF ALL, GOODNIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT

AND WHEN YOU FALL, AS WE ALL END UP FALLING
DREAM YOU FALL LIGHTLY
AND WHEN YOU RUN, AS WE ALL END UP RUNNING
DREAM YOU FIND A SAFE HIDING PLACE

IT'S THE END OF THE DAY, A HARD WON DAY
AND YOUR LIMBS ARE PLEADING FOR SLEEP
YOUR MIND IS RESISTING BUT MY VOICE IS INSISTING
AND LULLING AND PULLING YOU DEEP

THE PRISONS YOU BUILT
THE FARMS THAT YOU BURNT
THE FRIENDS YOU BETRAYED
THE WARS THAT YOU STARTED
THE RIVALS YOU TORTURED
NO WONDER AT NIGHT YOU'RE AFRAID
CLOSE YOUR EYES, I'LL DIM THE LIGHT
FAREWELL TO THE SWEET LIGHT

GOODNIGHT, EMPEROR OF ALL, GOODNIGHT
GOODNIGHT, EMPEROR OF ALL, GOODNIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT
