[Intro — Sinister piano synth, whispered vocals]
Hush now, baby.
Dim the light.
Something’s waiting
There tonight.
[Verse 1 — Dark, melodic vocals]
There’s a shadow by the bed,
Whispering inside your head.
Little fingers tap the glass,
Praying that the night will pass.
Hear the piano down the hall,
Feel the darkness touch the wall.
Every note pulls you below,
To a place you shouldn’t go.
[Pre-Chorus — Building tension]
Close your eyes, don’t make a sound,
Something wicked gathers round.
Count your blessings, count to seven,
This ain’t a dream, this isn’t heaven.
[Chorus — Powerful, haunting vocals]
Sleep, my darling, drift away,
The devil sings you sweet decay.
Hear the piano, hear it cry,
There’s no escaping what’s inside.
Rest your head, surrender slow,
There’s a place you’re meant to go.
Hush now, baby, don’t you fight,
The devil owns your dreams tonight.
[Verse 2]
Blackened roses, crimson skies,
A thousand faces, hollow eyes.
Every promise, every prayer,
Disappears into thin air.
The clock strikes twelve, the candles fade,
Another soul becomes the trade.
The melody begins anew,
And now it knows the name of you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Close your eyes, don’t make a sound,
Feel the darkness closing round.
Count your blessings, count to seven,
This ain’t a dream, this isn’t heaven.
[Chorus]
Sleep, my darling, drift away,
The devil sings you sweet decay.
Hear the piano, hear it cry,
There’s no escaping what’s inside.
Rest your head, surrender slow,
There’s a place you’re meant to go.
Hush now, baby, don’t you fight,
The devil owns your dreams tonight.
[Bridge — Piano alone, then dramatic build]
Mother warned you not to listen.
Father said the dark was fiction.
Now the keys begin to play,
And the devil knows your name.
One last note.
One last breath.
Sweet dreams, darling.
Welcome to death.
[Final Chorus — Full cinematic intensity]
Sleep, my darling, drift away,
The devil’s here to make you stay.
Hear the piano, hear it cry,
Tonight the angels won’t reply.
Rest your head, surrender slow,
Nowhere left for you to go.
Hush now, baby, kill the light…
The devil owns your dreams tonight.
[Outro — Piano synth fades into a low drone]
Hush…
Goodnight.
