Eidolon Lullaby

Childhood lullaby rings in his mind when he was a baby
Many years had passed by, but he cannot forget the song
Saying as a warning, sleep baby, sleep now or the cuco
Will come to eat you.  

Ancient cradle song used for Puerto Ricans to sleep babies
For many generations that believed the evil monster will 
Take them far from their families. Part of the folklore 
Characterizing one of the most legendary creatures of 
Hispanoamerican cultures.
