Now close your eyes and go to sleep my chosen son
I’ll try my best to keep you safe in any way
As the battle rages on, the hunter leaves the trail
In the blood red sunset I hear trumpets in the sky
Together we may go on sailing many seas
I know this tale will turn out right
Together we may watch the sunset in the sky
Who knows what’s wrong and what is right
On a lonely hill I see the marching and the dead
Overseas and underground the enemy has fled
Get ready boys the rollin’ thunder comes tonight
Hear the engines turning as the bombers hit the sky
Together we may go on sailing many seas
I know this tale will turn out right
Together we may watch the sunset in the sky
Who knows what’s wrong and what is right
Now close your eyes and go to sleep my chosen son
I’ll tell your mother you were brave until the end
Now the flag is draped around your body on the hill
In the blood red sunset I see angels in the sky
Together we may go on sailing many seas
I know this tale will turn out right
Together we may watch the sunset in the sky
Who knows what’s wrong and what is right
