Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes, the children are asleep
The night will surely keep, my Queen
Close your eyes, to tides that run too deep
I know sometimes you weep unseen
While you dream, the treason and the fear
Will all but disappear, subside
Close your eyes, the evening is still and clear
The fight is nowhere near tonight

[Choir] Dream of when you were the brightest star in all of France
Dream of when you were the celebrated young dauphine
[Choir] Mistress of every dance
- The most benign young queen, theyd ever seen

Close your eyes, deny them how you feel
Unlock your chains and heal your heart
Close your eyes, remember love was real
For memories they cant steal or guard
While you sleep, though death may pass you by
Hell never slip inside unseen
Dry your eyes, and hold your head up high
They wouldnt dare defy their Queen

[Choir] When the demons appear
Well rise and fight
Well run, well hide

Try to sleep, dont cry, just sleep
Dont think, dont be sorry, dont feel sad
I know how worried you are for your son
Hell be just fine
[Choir] Just fine
Dry your eyes, theyll take you to the king
Youll hear the churchbells ring, my Queen
Close your eyes, and let your heart take wing
Youll hear the angels sing, be free

[Choir] Close your eyes ...
