Where the child can be free

Dream Dark

Stay tightly tucked within your bed.
Dream dark, dream dark tonight, child.
Please do not stir your little head.
Know watchmen stand between the wild
Monsters den on the other side
And the White Stone of Castle Pride
Where the suits-with pockets deep-
Pay the Lourdes for their souls to keep.
Dream dark, dream dark, my little dear.
Your brother might return today
(Though some dust just won't wash away
For good). But don't you shed a tear.
Proud Castle is sure that Peace's cost
Is worth the countless friends we've lost.

Am I correct in assuming this is about the war?

"Where the suits-with pockets deep-

OT, that line is so clever & oh so true, the irony is that pointless as it may be, they will never feel the financial pinch & miss the money anyway. What it must be like to have the wherewithall to hedge your bets just in case....On 2nd, thoughts, I'll pass..
