Original lyrics by Joel Snyder and music written by Joel Snyder and Jane K (Evgeniya Kozhevnikova). It is a lullaby written in mixolydian mode. Golow an Tewlder is Cornish (a Celtic language from Cornwall, United Kingdom), and it means "Light the Darkness." It is a reminder that we are to be forces of light in this all-to-often dark world.

Lyrics:
Sleep, my dear one,
Sleep, my love,
Angels guard your sweet bed.
Fear not the darkness up above,
Golow an Tewlder.

Sleep, my dear one,
Sleep, my dove,
'Midst the darkest, blackest night.
Your father's arms will hold you tight,
Golow an Tewlder.

Sleep, my dear one,
Sleep, my child,
To the war we must go.
The darkness you will overthrow,
Golow an Tewlder.
