Many strange things go bump in the night.

So just make sure you don't turn on the light.

I can assure you it’ll be alright,

So close your eyes and sleep tight.

The whispering wind will cause you no harm

So don’t you cry or raise the alarm.

Your family and friends are all so far.

And the sky is as black as tar.

The moon is hiding but don’t be afraid.

It is all just a game to be played.

One where your progress can’t be saved

And where losers will all be enslaved.

But don’t you open up your eyes.

Ignore the sound of neighbours’ cries.

They shouldn’t have told so many lies

If they didn’t wish to meet their demise.

There is no need to raise your head.

It’s better to lie there in your bed.

You know what your mother said.

Be careful where you tread.

Don’t listen to the creaking door

Or the plodding on the floor.

You are safe, of that I’m sure.

I don’t know what you’re worried for.

You’re such as gentle sleeping child.

Those ruby lips with which you smiled.

Your lovely hair is oh so wild.

A face that is so oft beguiled.

Do not fear this pressing cold.

A crimson line jumps from the fold.

More beautiful than any ruby sold.

It’s spreading cannot be controlled.

So sleep well my dearest one.

Your longest night has just begun.

I’ll see you once my life is done.

Away from the horror of the burning sun.
