Hear my prayer o'er the wilderness,
on this night of great importance,
give me rest, please give me rest I pray...

May your brother Death not take me,
your mother Earth protect me
I pray...
The prayer of angels
that when all is done
we may have rest,
and sweet, sweet dreams.

And when all is said and done,
when all our swords are stayed,
may I have rest?

Protect my wife, my children
as mother Earth protects me,
you have children too, you too should know
the fear I'm keeping.

May your brother Death not take me,
your mother Earth protect me
I pray...
The prayer of angels.

Keep away the shadows,
forgive my breaking heart.
And give me rest
And give me peace
And spare me Death.

May your mother Earth protect me,
And brother Death avoid me,
Protect my wife and children
while I am away.
