(soft humming with fire crackling and low wind ambience) Verse 1 Lay your head, tired soul The night has come at last Set down all the heavy things You were never meant to carry past The fire burns in amber light The kettle sings so low And every weary part of you No longer needs to roam Chorus Rest now… slowly… Let the dark grow soft around you There is nothing left to survive tonight No battle left to move through Lay your heart beside the silence Let your breathing come undone Even tired souls deserve A place to finally rest someone Verse 2 The willow sways beyond the glass The bells drift with the breeze And somewhere in the quiet house The old floorboards creak peacefully No need to speak your sorrow now No need to explain your pain Some wounds grow lighter simply by Not carrying them alone again Bridge There are nights when surviving is enough And rest itself becomes sacred Final Chorus So lay your head, tired soul And let the candles burn low The night will keep its gentle watch Until the morning glow And if your dreams grow heavy still The fire will remain A quiet light beside your heart Until your strength returns again Ending (low layered humming with fireplace and distant bell ambience) Mmmmm… Rest now… Mmmmm…
