Sweet child of mine
She sleeps in the house of darkest souls
Where marble statues of gods come alive
At twelve midnight
To whisper into her nightmares
Casting her fears away
My baby girl opens her eyes
To embrace the hours before first light
Lovely cherub
She descends the mahogony stairs
With a teddy bear safe within her tiny grasp
Soft creature of innocence
My baby girl stares into the eyes of Aphrodite
As the moving portrait of Mona Lisa smiles at her lovingly
My baby girl
She is curious
She is frightened
Sweet child of mine
Do not run
For you shall find yourself
Escaping to your doom
Fleeing deeper into your grave
Sweet child of mine
Fear not
When you are cradled in my arms
As we rise into the starry night sky
I shall take you to a faraway land
Where you will make your own destiny
