Bedtime Story

Doze off to a world or rather a place
With beautiful colors and demons with no face
Waters of red and valleys of black
Once you step in no turning back
The skies once blue now grey have been turned
From the ash and ruin with everything burned
And still yet you turn to a child face lit with smiles
Though behind her come the demons stretching for miles
And for this one child you must fight from within
For you are now a father and this is the world we live in
