A Sinner's Plea

Sing me a lullaby to make me sleep
A song that makes me sink so deep
Into the land that deep dark realm
where sinners and innocents dream

The soothing song that induces slumber
will make me forget my waking blunder
of sinning against my fellow man
To claim, to need what is not mine

The sins abound in my darkened soul
I lied, I killed, I plunder, I stole
Every single things that I could reach
as long as they made me filthy rich

So now this final lullaby
sing it right and sing it high
Hold that knife strong and hard
and plunge it into my evil heart.
