A cherished blessing born, A sweet baby boy or girl This gilded youth, adorned with love Rests easy in its bed But guard this gift with a watchful eye
Through the midnight hour For there will come a fiendish beast Who will steal your darling away It has produced a creature with dimples and curls Much like your own Yet this one would feed on the flesh and blood of those
Inside your home With tiny hands and childlike giggles It will carve out your heart While your own small cherub is taken And fed to the demons in the dark
