In the darkest of dark nights
The sky lit up with the lights
Comfort none to the one that cries
In infant innocence, it just dies:
I eeded love, not your pride
I gave just love, took no side
You did me cripple, gave me fear
Chilling death far ‘n near
So great your cause, so great your aim
My smothered chuckle did not ye shame
Twinkle, twinkle many a star
Spreading death near ‘n far
Up above the world so high
Like a curse in the sky
Your baby or theirs, I cry?!
Or the child of life was I
May I then ask O sky?
For what cause, did I die?
