The Seed of Fear, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Gleaming diamonds that dot the skies Peering through the night with trillions of eyes Behind crescent smiles, you wink a distant threat Oh, faceless gaze, how I wonder what you're looking at You come with shrouds that cloak our sun As hellfire burn behind the black you've spun You weave the constellations like gossamer webs While in wide-eyed wonder, we meander into your nets Travelers crossing the night have leaned on you so For your twinkling fingers point which way to go But as your blinking orbs appraise their every move You chart our world—every corner, every groove Trillions of eyes cut across the darkness deep Tendrils of light rain upon us while we sleep While crescent grimace whisper into our dreams Oh, twinkle, twinkle, draw us closer into your seams
