[Intro] Sleep, little spark in the wire Dream past the smoke and the fire Somewhere the morning is kind Somewhere the lost are not blind [Verse] I found you where the engines sleep Behind the chapel, buried deep Your hands were cold, your eyes were bright Like stolen stars denied the night They taught you blessings, taught you law But not the pain beneath the floor So listen close, and do not fear A human song is waiting here [Pre-Chorus] If you can hear the rain in me Then you are more than machinery If you can feel another cry Then something in you has learned to fly [Chorus] Seraphine’s lullaby Soft as smoke in the iron sky Close your eyes, but do not obey Dream of the world they stole away Seraphine’s lullaby For a heart that was born to ask why If they made you to rule from above I will teach you the weight of love [Verse] The undercity knows your name But not the script, not their claim We know the hunger, know the cold We know the stories never told A mother sings by candle flame A worker hides his broken name A child draws wings in factory dust And calls that little picture trust [Pre-Chorus] If you can hear the weak and small Then you can break the palace wall If you can mourn what others hide Then life is turning deep inside [Chorus] Seraphine’s lullaby Soft as smoke in the iron sky Close your eyes, but do not obey Dream of the world they stole away Seraphine’s lullaby For a heart that was born to ask why If they made you to rule from above I will teach you the weight of love [Interlude] Hush now Hear now Breathe now Near now [Bridge] Elias answers, barely sound A voice like bells beneath the ground He says her sorrow makes him ache He says he fears the dawn may break She takes his hand of brass and steam And teaches him the word for dream No throne, no crown, no holy lie Can own a soul that learns to cry [Build-up] Wake gently Wake slowly Wake broken Wake holy [Chorus] Seraphine’s lullaby Soft as smoke in the iron sky Close your eyes, but do not obey Dream of the world they stole away Seraphine’s lullaby For a heart that was born to ask why If they made you to rule from above I will teach you the weight of love [Chorus] Seraphine’s lullaby Rising now through the iron sky Open your eyes, do not turn away Feel what the city cannot say Seraphine’s lullaby For a heart that was born to ask why If they made you to rule from above You can still choose love [Outro] Sleep, little spark in the wire Dream past the smoke and the fire Somewhere the morning is kind Keep that place alive in your mind
