Lullaby
from “Crimes” - SATB a cappella divisi - Original text - English - Medium
“She remembers the lullaby sung by her mother;
A breathy voice and a soothing melody that made her happy and warm like Summer.
But that happiness is just a fragile memory.
Without consent, without permission
Now there is only the sour taste of failure. Being a mother was her new mission.
And a seed planted by Evil became her savior.
Time goes by and the seed grows stronger.
He was her only friend in this weird new life.
But how she will love him and satiate his hunger if many times her soul was cut with a knife?
The day came and she gave birth. The pain became joy, and the cry became laughter.
Alone and scared she brought him to Earth. And from that moment on she was in a new chapter.
She remembers the lullaby sung by her mother; A breathy voice and a soothing melody
That will make him happy and warm like Summer while she vanishes just like a fragile memory.
And singing a lullaby she gave him to the gods. From a trash can his life will start.
Maybe he will find love against all odds now that their paths are forever apart.”
