Lyrics for Sleep Has His House

This is in memory of my father. All of your pain All of your pleasure All of your gain All of your losses All of your pastures All of your fields All of your plains All of your bodies All of your joys All of your countries All of your flags All of your waters All of your tunnels All of your worlds All of your seahorses All of your breasts All of your beasts All of your distances All of your colours And all of your troubles All of your rains All of your comets All of your moons All of your birds All of your rents All of your marvels All of your winds And all of your nothings All of your everythings All of your gods All of your angels All of your masters All of your slaves All of your islands And all of your waves All your machines And all of your dreams And all of your laws And all of your loves And all of the dead Have pity on the dead All of the dead Have pity on the dead Have pity on the dead Sleep has his house Have pity on the dead Sleep has his house All your machines And all of your dreams All of your comets And all of your moons And all of your birds And all of your rents And all of your marvels All of your winds And all of your nothings All of your everythings All your machines And all of your dreams Have pity on the dead Sleep has his house Have pity on the dead Sleep has his house Overwhelm me Overwhelm me Sleep has his house
