Mordred's Lullaby - Lyrics - Heather Dale

Heather Dale is a Canadian Celtic recording artist and touring musician. She records and performs primarily her own original songs, which draw their inspiration from the folklore, mythology and history of various Celtic and non-Celtic cultures, along with some elements of modern fantasy literature. Her musical style is a mix of traditional and modern, influenced by Celtic folk, folk-rock, New Age, and world music. She has been compared to Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan, and Judy Collins.

Hush, child The darkness will rise from the deep And carry you down into sleep Child, the darkness will rise from the deep And carry you down into sleep Guileless son, I'll shape your belief And you'll always know that your father's a thief And you won't understand the cause of your grief But you'll always follow the voices beneath Loyalty loyalty loyalty loyalty Loyalty loyalty loyalty only to me Guileless son, Your spirit will hate her The flower who married my brother the traitor And you will expose his puppeteer behavior For you are the proof of how he betrayed her loyalty Loyalty loyalty loyalty loyalty Loyalty loyalty loyalty only to me Hush, child The darkness will rise from the deep And carry you down into sleep Child, the darkness will rise from the deep And carry you down into sleep Guileless son, Each day you grow older Each moment I'm watching my vengeance unfold For the child of my body, the flesh of my soul Will die in returning the birthright he stole Loyalty loyalty loyalty loyalty Loyalty loyalty loyalty only to me Hush, child The darkness will rise from the deep And carry you down into sleep Child, the darkness will rise from the deep And carry you down into sleep
