(Verse 1) This weary flesh, a cage it seems, confining dreams, confining schemes. My spirit yearns to break free, from this mortality. The weight of days, a heavy toll, upon my soul, it takes its hold. I long for slumber, deep and sound, where peace and solace can be found. (Chorus) Oh, for a sleep, a final rest, where weary bones and minds are blessed. No more ache, the constant strife, no more burden of this life. To shed this shell, this earthly guise, and soar above, where freedom lies. To wake in peace, beyond all pain, a soul renewed, a sweet refrain. (Verse 2) The world spins on, a dizzying race, a fleeting shadow, leaves no trace. I watch it all with weary eyes, a distant echo, as it flies. The joys, the sorrows, fade away, like mist upon a fading day. And I await the final sleep, where secrets deep within will keep. (Chorus) Oh, for a sleep, a final rest, where weary bones and minds are blessed. No more the ache, the constant strife, no more the burden of this life. To shed this shell, this earthly guise, and soar above, where freedom lies. To wake in peace, beyond all pain, a soul renewed, a sweet refrain. (Bridge) No fear of death, no chilling hand, grips tightly, across the land. But I embrace the coming night, a welcome end to endless fight. A release from earthly chains, an end to sorrow, and to pains. (Chorus) Oh, for a sleep, a final rest, where weary bones and minds are blessed. No more the ache, the constant strife, no more the burden of this life. To shed this shell, this earthly guise, and soar above, where freedom lies. To wake in peace, beyond all pain, a soul renewed, a sweet refrain. (Outro) A sweet refrain… where peace remains… beyond the earthly chains… A sweet refrain… a soul serene… forever peaceful, it would seem.
