Pray Nightfall Lyrics
In my head, this all is
In my head, this all is in my head
This all is in my head, this all is in my head...
I hold on tight for this mortal ride
Rest my head 'til the morning's coming down on me
I realise my own sacrifice
Better rest my head before somebody's going out...
In my head, this all is
In my head, this all is in my head
This all is in my head, this all is in my head...
Pray nightfall release me
Then I could wander, wander to deep sleep
Awake despite, another mortal night
Rest my head, for the sun is shining down on me
I realise try to synchronize
Rest my head or somebody's going down
In my head, this all is
In my head, this all is in my head
This all is in my head, this all is in my head...
Pray nightfall release me
Then I could wander, wander to deep sleep
Trying to make things work
Trying to make things right
Trying to make things work
Without serendipity in my life...
In my head, this all is in my head
This all is in my head, this all is in my head...
Rest my head 'til the morning's coming down on me
I realise my own sacrifice
Better rest my head before somebody's going out...
In my head, this all is in my head
This all is in my head, this all is in my head...
Then I could wander, wander to deep sleep
Rest my head, for the sun is shining down on me
I realise try to synchronize
Rest my head or somebody's going down
In my head, this all is in my head
This all is in my head, this all is in my head...
Then I could wander, wander to deep sleep
Trying to make things right
Trying to make things work
Without serendipity in my life...

A brilliant song with some great lyrics. I always thought that the "Pray Nightfall release me" meant let the night come to cover the bad day. The wander part goes with the whole night part. So basically, having a depressing day with pain, hoping for it to end, only to have you wander then...
Always thought it was about someone living with real pain or anguish (be that mental or physical) who lives with the hope, that it will end whilst they sleep. Thus sparing them the torture of a life over which they have no control, and removing the difficult decision of having to end it for themselves.
The author is probably describing some invincible feeling of guilt - "It's in my head". It seams to me that "nightfall" is allegory of death, then it's clear why it can "release" and lead to "deep sleep". A picture which come to mind is a soldier who shattered a lot of lives. He regrets it but he cannot stop killing, because otherwise he must die himself.
