As I Lay Myself to Sleep​.​.​.

from Demo I by Adam & Eve

/

about

Story about the religious dad and his son, who tends to agree with everything his dad says. The monotony of the track is a metaphor for the fact that the son has to listen to the same thing over and over again, day after day.

lyrics

As I lay me down to sleep
I never forget to say the prayer
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

-Have you prayed yet, son?
-Yes, daddy, I have.
-Very good, son. You know how important it is. We will be able to go to heaven ONLY if we pray every day.
-Yes, daddy, I know. I do as you say.
-Good boy, never forget that! If you are not praying, you are making a very big sin!
-Yes, daddy, I remember.

As you lay yourself to sleep
And about to fall asleep
Don't forget to say the prayer
Don't you know how It's important

What awaits you after sleep
Only Lord can tell the truth
So don't laze and say the prayer
If you want to live of course

Do you want to make a sin, kid?
Lazing is just one of them
Godlessness is a greater one
So pray and hope to avoid the wrath

Don't you know where sinners go?
And what awaits them after death?
Do you want to share their fate
Or stay and pray among believers

There isn't, yet, another way
To keep you soul safe
So be so smart and pray, and pray
We are going to meet Jesus

-One more thing, son.
-What is it, daddy?
-It's about your school friends.
-What's wrong with them, daddy?
-They are godless filthy sinners and I don't want you to talk to them.
-But daddy, they haven't done anything wrong.
-For now. They are godless sinners, what are they gonna grow into? I'll told you! They will become thieves, murderers, and alchogolics! They are doomed already and they definitely won't set you a good example. Always remember, son, those who don't pray will go to hell, and there are no exceptions. Do you understand, son?
-Yes, daddy.
-Good, now go to sleep.
-Okay. Good night, daddy.

(You should never forget, to say the prayer)
(We unlike those filthy, godless sinners)

Wake up, son. It's time to go to church.
