Lullaby



Hold me down and sing me to sleep

Bloody black asp, to the cradle you creep



Sing me some lies; make them pretty and bright

Put out the sun swallow the light



Taste the red life, copper and sweet

Stop the warm breath, halt the deceit



Give me your hand, let me close your tired eyes

Pretend you don't see, that you can't feel the lies



Stopper your ears so you can't hear the screams

Sleep little baby, hide from your dreams
