Bad Love Junkie - While Her City Burns (The Cradle Song)

When darkness like a veil falls
She dims the room and lights a candle
I see her through the windowpane
Her silhouette is wrapped in sorrow

Lullaby, a lullaby
She'll sing it when she's able
Lullaby, a lullaby
She'll rock her baby's cradle

Every night she prays while her city burns
She folds her hands and prays while her city burns
While her city burns
Every night she prays while her city burns
While her city burns

Sirens wail and ice-cold buildings shake
It's the melody that's keeping me awake
From dusk to dawn
It plays on and on
The cradle song

Though desperate tears she kneels and prays
I wonder how can heaven hear her
Past the sound of bullet fire
I hope tonight her prayers are answered

Lullaby, Lullaby
She'll sing it when she's able
Lullaby, a lullaby
She'll rock her baby's cradle

Lullaby, Lullaby
She'll sing it when she's able
Lullaby, a lullaby
She'll rock her baby's cradle

Every night she prays 
She folds her hands and prays 
Every night she prays 
She folds her hands and prays
While her city burns
While her city burns
While her city burns
