Lucifers Lullaby

Your slumber is long overdue So hush as I sing this for you Now sleep the entire night through As your mummy and I hope to do Your mummy seemed really quite certain There’s no-one hid behind the curtain The scratching noise inside the wall Is just when the rats creep and crawl There’s nobody hid in the closet, There’s nobody outside the door There’s nobody outside the window I haven’t checked under the floor The night monsters under the bed Aren’t likely to bite off your head The old man with long pointed chin Ain't planning to tear off your skin The nun that looks like she’s gone nuts Is dreaming of eating your guts But won’t stick her axe in your head Unless you’re asleep in your bed There’s nobody hid in the closet, There’s nobody outside the door There’s nobody outside the window I haven’t checked under the floor No flesh eating slug just a blood sucking bug Is waiting to puncture your veins The slavering zombie won’t give you a hug Or chew up then spit out your brains All of this happens just rarely Of this I’m quite certain...well... fairly So hush little one, rest my son This long dark night has just begun There’s nobody hid in the closet, There’s nobody outside the door There’s nobody outside the window I haven’t checked under the floor My son, if you’re nervous of some freaky creep Whose howling and screaming will rob you of sleep And upset your mother, my good lady wife Let me say welcome... To my life!
