Sleep well sweet child

I am here to watch your dreams

Don't be afraid

The moon above just gleams for you

Don't mind the wolf, he is not near

He's a friend of the night, my dear

Hush don't you cry, he is not near

We are friends of the night, my dear

And I run and I hide in the dark

Threatened by each distant bark

Sleep little love, for heaven's sake

It's not your fault; it's your cruel, ruthless fate

It's not your fault; it's your cruel, ruthless fate

Prophecy of the old age

Still sounding out my son's decline

He is the one to free us from the tyrant

So I flee from bloodhounds eager to kill

(And I sing) / (Sleep well sweet child)

I am here to watch your dreams

Don't be afraid,

The moon above just gleams for you

Don't mind the wolf, he is not near

He's a friend of the night, my dear

Hush don't you cry, he is not near

We are friends of the night, my dear

They shall not get my loving child

As long as I am by his side

I am the shadow runner in time

Here and there, never to find

Here and there, never to find

And I run and I hide in the dark

Threatened by each distant bark

Sleep little love, for heaven's sake

Sleep for I'm here to fulfil your fate

Sleep for I'm here to fulfil your fate
