Now as I lay me down to bed
Let my mind be free of dread
Let it flout away tonight
Towards a morning clear and bright.
Let this fear subside from me
As I slowly breathe.

Now as I lay me down to bed
Let me be free of my dread
Till the morning does arrive
Let it come before I shy.

I fear the night engulfing me
Not allowing me to breath
Taking all my gasping breaths
Tell the last one I have left.

Now as they lay me down to sleep
In this coffin I shall keep.
