Huntress’s lullaby

Bayu, bayu, bayushki,

Close your eyes, don’t make a sound.

Moonlight crawls across the walls,

Something waits beneath the ground.

Bayu, bayu, sleep tonight,

Hear the whisper in the night.

Little footsteps, soft and slow,

Something follows where you go.

Hush now… hush now…

Don’t you wake.

Hush now… hush now…

Feel it take—

Your dreams,

Your breath,

Your heartbeat—

RUN.

Bayu, bayu, bayushki,

The little wolf is at the door.

Claws are scratching, teeth are shining,

You won’t hear them anymore.

Bayu, bayu, close your eyes,

Let the darkness take the light.

If you hear your name whispered,

Do not turn around tonight.

Bayu… bayu… bayushki…

Sleep beneath the silver sky…

Bayu… bayu… bayushki…

Something’s coming… don’t you cry.

I can hear it—

In the ceiling.

I can feel it—

Underneath.

Every shadow,

Every whisper,

Every heartbeat

Calls to me.

BAYU! BAYU! BAYUSHKI!

Sleep.

Sleep.

SLEEP.

The lullaby is broken now,

The cradle swings without a hand.

Mother’s voice is fading out,

And something waits beside the bed.

Bayu, bayu, bayushki…

No more dreams tonight.

Bayu… bayu… bayushki…

GOODNIGHT.
