Goodnight my child, goodnight Sweet dreams before the light Goodnight my child, the darkness has come Goodnight my child, goodnight Dream of my emerald eyes Dream of my emerald eyes The summer has gone and so soon shall be I Dream of my emerald eyes The snake will have its day The sun will burn away On a sea of tears your cradle will sway Above my cursed grave No matter big or small What rises surely will fall When you have learned you are nothing at all From the dark you'll crawl Goodnight my child, goodnight Make sure your sleep is light Be warm of heart and fierce of fight And keep the fire alive Keep the fire alive
