LYRICS

LEAD LINED LULLABY

The sun has gone down in a cloud of grey
The doors close on the ghost of the day
Don't look at the dial, don't mind the hum
The safest of hours has finally come
The concrete is thick and the world is outside
But here in the lamplight, there’s nothing to hide.

So sleep, little dreamer, in your led-lined nest
While the stars overhead take a long, dusty rest
The walls are a wonder, the ceiling is deep
And the secrets of K N F 7 will keep
It’s a led-lined lullaby, gentle and true
And the bunker is humming a song just for you.

I’ll dream of the meadows we used to know
Before the great silence, a long time ago
The air was like cider, the apples were red
Now we have filters and tinned fruit instead
But the taste of a memory is sweet on the tongue
As long as the songs of the bunker are sung.

Hush... can you hear it? 
The world is just catching its breath.

So sleep, little dreamer, in your led-lined nest
While the stars overhead take a long, dusty rest
The walls are a wonder, the ceiling is deep
And the secrets of K N F 7 will keep
It’s a led-lined lullaby, gentle and true
And the bunker is humming a song just for you.
