[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
