Evil Kim Evil - Lullaby for the Damned Lyrics

Oh child, the bitter end is nigh
And all the angels torture you when you cry
Hush, child, 'cause sleep is a bitter pill
And all the angels hold you against you will
Sing you a jubilee and then go in for the kill
I've seen the marks on your neck where they took their fill
And the scars you were wearing, well, you wear them still

See the broken seraphim
He's been watching where you swim
He's been watching you dive down
He'd like to see you drown
He's got an apple for a crown
He'd like to see you drown

And I will never hate you
How could you expect me to?
Some things travel deeper
Than anything we do or don't do
And I don't want to hurt you
But it's all I can
Sometime you hold the knife carefully
Sometimes it slips from your hand

Sleep, child, for they're coming to take you away
With claws like needles and wings of gray
They'll sweep you up before the light of day
You'll feel knives in your belly
And you'll feel your lungs give way
And I promise I'll be there on the other side
Where the sky's a fiery orange
And the water is wide

Here's a blanket for your bed
Best wishes to the dead
I'm the broken seraphim
I've been watching where you swim
I've been watching you dive down
I'd like to see you drown

And I won't forget you
How could you expect me to?
Some things travel deeper
Than anything we do or don't do
I don't want to hurt you
But it's all I can
Sometimes you hold the knife carefully
Sometimes it slips from your hand

Oh child, the moon is yellow tonight
Take my words for what they are and do not fight
Something will still be there by the morning light
Take my words for what they are and do not fight
And we will make it through the night

Then all the seraphim may hover over our beds
Beckoning us to rise to the land of the dead
Where the sea, it is a symphony, and the fields are green
And the sun is bigger than anything you've ever seen
