Wicked Lullaby
Verse 1:
Hush now, child, don't make a sound,
The night is calling, creeping around,
Close your eyes, the shadows loom,
The devil's voice will sing your doom.
In the cradle, you'll dream of night,
Where angels weep and demons fight,
Rocked by whispers, cold as death,
Breathing deep with every breath.
Pre-Chorus:
The moon is rising, blood runs cold,
A twisted lullaby, so bold,
Close your eyes, you'll soon be free,
But not from what waits, beneath the sea.
Chorus:
Wicked lullaby, sing me to sleep,
Where the nightmares crawl and shadows creep,
Let the darkness take its toll,
A lullaby that steals the soul.
Wicked lullaby, soft and sweet,
Whispering secrets, dark deceit,
In the silence, you will die,
Sung to sleep by the wicked lullaby.
Verse 2:
Rock me gently, in the night,
Where nothing's pure, where none are right,
The stars are fading, the angels fall,
Your cradle's rocking, the devil calls.
Underneath the bed, the demons wait,
Your final dream, it's never too late,
The winds are howling, the fire's bright,
Your soul is sold in the dead of night.
Pre-Chorus:
The moon is rising, blood runs cold,
A twisted lullaby, so bold,
Close your eyes, you'll soon be free,
But not from what waits, beneath the sea.
Chorus:
Wicked lullaby, sing me to sleep,
Where the nightmares crawl and shadows creep,
Let the darkness take its toll,
A lullaby that steals the soul.
Wicked lullaby, soft and sweet,
Whispering secrets, dark deceit,
In the silence, you will die,
Sung to sleep by the wicked lullaby.
Bridge:
Rock me, cradle me, down to the deep,
Where light is lost and the damned must sleep,
Sing me softly, my fate's been sealed,
In your arms, the darkness is revealed.
Chorus:
Wicked lullaby, sing me to sleep,
Where the nightmares crawl and shadows creep,
Let the darkness take its toll,
A lullaby that steals the soul.
Wicked lullaby, soft and sweet,
Whispering secrets, dark deceit,
In the silence, you will die,
Sung to sleep by the wicked lullaby.
Outro:
Hush now, child, don't make a sound,
The devil's waiting, all around,
Drift away, and never cry,
You're gone forever to the wicked lullaby.
This song weaves a dark, eerie tale of a lullaby sung to lure the listener into a nightmare, with the promise of eternal rest, but at the cost of their soul. The melody would have a soft, almost hypnotic feel, contrasting with the haunting lyrics.
