The lullabies are sickly sweet
Singing songs of fairy tales
Of hope and life and faith and love
Of dreams sure to be
Fake.

The lullabies are bittersweet
Singing songs of vengence
Of rage and hate and death and blood
Of dreams sure to be
Smothered.

The lullabies are far from sweet
Singing songs of time
Of age and cold and fading 'way
Dreams sure to be
Forgotten.

The lullabies are all but sweet
Singing songs of life
Of love and pain and draining hope
Dreams sure to be
Shattered.
