Lullaby

Sacrificial lullaby

Born to a soulless lady.

scar on mankind

the whore of Hades.

She dances as one with the fire.

Dancing round and round,

in her flaming gown,

chanting her desires

as she feasts on angel babies.

Cold as a valcanno

buried under ice

shadows in the snow

This infant sacrifice

has been salvaged from the womb

now must meet it's doom

To blind the adolescent mother's eyes.

Mouths of lies consume

the blood of innocence

doused in sweet perfume

they wear her flesh

in a masquerade

of regrets they have

and plans they've made

Infant,mother ,whore

each within itself

one from the other bore

all the photos on the shelf

she shares them with the fetus

sitting on her lap

the lullaby is  sweetest

just before the eternal nap.
