Shani's Lullaby



Fate has been cruel and destiny unkind


How could I have lost you this way?


The blame was my own; the punishment, yours


The stars are all silent today


But into the darkness I'll bring you a song


And I will your company keep


Till I close my eyes to rest for the night


I'll see you once more in my sleep


Once did a princess as pure as the snow


That surrounded her kingdom say


"No matter where we go we must bring hope


And to others never let hope slip away


But so dark was her fate and so bloody her death


That no one would ever have known


That the sister she fought to protect all along


Had an even more violent fate of her own


Lullay dear Shani, goodbye sister mine


And please hear my plea


Bear up my lullaby, fates all around


To wherever she may be


Carry the peace and the coolness of our


Planet we left far behind


Sani, i'm sorry, I thought you should know


So that peace may enter your mind


Soon did that blow come that took her away


Nothing I could do to defy


The deal had been dealt and the fates had spoken


There was nothing to do now but lay there and cry.


But such is the cruelty that follows our family


And how we can never escape


Our fates had been sealed so long ago


And our dad only bent them to even worse shape


Lullay dear Shani, goodbye sister mine


And please hear my plea


Bear up my lullaby, fates all around


To wherever she may be


Carry the peace and the coolness of our


Planet we left far behind


Sani, i'm sorry, I thought you should know


So that peace may enter your mind


And i'm sorry it's my fault this time


The times now before me


Bloodied and cold


I never once thought that


I'd be here all alone


Should I die here will you


Tell Nia not to cry


I'm sorry, I love you


And that is not a lie


May their dreams be sweet tonight


Safe at home in the moonlight


And let them know not of the heartache that we share


And let them know there should be no guilt that they bare


Sleep...sleep...sleep....
