Villanelle-Everlasting+Child

Everlasting Child

Little orphan child, age of ten, Let the corpulent beast feed off your soul, I shall liberate you then.

Stifle your breathing to hide from the men, What is it that you stole-- Little orphan child, age of ten.

Attempted to snatch back your heart, but I found it once again. Bend the will of altruist control, I shall liberate you then.

Unearth the lost seraphs, listen to when-- Pluck their feathers; cover their bodies in holes, Little orphan child, age of ten.

Find your kin and purge their squalid pens, Let the witches play until your skin crumbles to coal, I shall liberate you then.

Find the realm of Death and agree to sleep in his shadowy den, Breathe in the nightmare, fade away with console, Little orphan child, age of ten, I shall liberate you then.
