Bedtime Prayers
By Estel Elendil

Now I lay me down to sleep
I have a life I wish not to keep
Please let me die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

Now I lay me down to rest
Kill me Lord, it's for the best
Please let me die among my dreams
Escape from the nightmare my life seems

Now I lay me down to bed
When morning comes, please find me dead
My whole world slowly falls apart
I pray the Lord to stop my heart

At last I lay me down at night
Given up the hopeless fight
Please end my life right where I lay
Or sentence me tortured one more day
