Cruel Lullaby

​
​Because how can we possibly fight
a foe we call a trick of the light?
How could we possibly win
against logic's own blight?
​
When they do return
they'll swarm from the trees.
And they'll take back this world.
They'll do it with ease.

They won't care if we beg.
They won't care if we cry.
Because to them we're just nightmares
​banished by their cruel lullaby.

---

They're tricky to find
even more so to enter.
The last holdings of fae
in this magical winter.

We like to think they've all gone
hidden in storybook and lore,
but all they're doing is waiting
for their call to war.
