[Verse 1]
White guitar
Ghost in the rafters
Blonde hair
Caught in the glare
Every run you bent past the rafters
Still rings
Like you’re standing there
Little kid
Pressing play in the bedroom
Learning every strange
Sweet turn
In my hands
Those shapes feel like prayer now
Every note you left still burns
[Chorus]
Sleep
My metal lullaby
All the saints in denim sky
Let the feedback fade to quiet
I will keep your fire alive
Sleep
My metal lullaby
On the stage beyond the night
When I close my eyes in silence
I can hear you all collide
[Verse 2]
Leather
Smoke
A bottle on the speaker
Crooked grin behind the mic
You roared truth
From the edge of the reaper
Wouldn’t flinch
Wouldn’t step aside
Rust and dust
On a midnight highway
That old warhorse never tamed
Every scar
Was a joke and a victory
Every bar room knew your name
[Chorus]
Sleep
My metal lullaby
All the saints in denim sky
Let the feedback fade to quiet
I will keep your fire alive
Sleep
My metal lullaby
On the stage beyond the night
When I close my eyes in silence
I can hear you all collide
[Verse 3]
Cigarettes
And a torn-up leather jacket
Low-slung
Cherry red sting
You wrote storms
With a loose-left racket
Three chords
Made a gang
Made a king
Back streets
Ink on cardboard setlists
Cheap ink
Big dreams
Loud hearts
You taught
How to stand in the middle
Let the rhythm tear us apart
[Chorus]
Sleep
My metal lullaby
All the saints in denim sky
Let the feedback fade to quiet
I will keep your fire alive
Sleep
My metal lullaby
On the stage beyond the night
When I close my eyes in silence
I can hear you all collide (ohh)
