Dear Child
Shut you eyes, dear child, please pray
Don't listen, precious, just look away
Cover ears and hold your breath
Sweet child, of what is left
Sleep in peace, innocence, dream deep
Don't be thinking, please fall asleep
Lay within your pact of lies-
Poor child, your mind's disguise
Awaken child, do not suffer this day
Shut your eyes, again, please lay
Your mind and body too broken, damaged
Tragic child, your life's a savage
