Lie still chosen one, lie silent as stone,
I am watching over you, be not affraid,
They cannot hurt you now, nothing can,
The crowd have gone, their games played.

Don't cry little one, don't weep over them,
Rockabye baby, sleep on silent breeze,
Dream of warmth and love in your hand,
Sleep hard and long, be at peace.

The torment is gone forever young one,
The pain endured, the nightmare gone,
I will care for you now and evermore,
'Til the earth stops turning, 'til the deed is done

Everyone condemned you for being different,
For standing out against the blind crowd,
They said you're better off forgotten and dead,
Your spineless parents could never be proud.

But even as your days grew shorter,
As the pain multiplied inside your mind,
I will be at your side through it all,
I won't walk away, won't leave you in a bind.

You're warm now, but the cold nears,
Walk with me, child, and rise,
Give yourself to me sweet one,
Shh now, close your eyes.
