Green grass, reach for those stars
Shining above, rippling on black tar
So lovely, full of might
Hoping to one day soar like a yellow kite
Hair as dark as rotten pears
A voice as sharp as jagged shears
Skin mottled and bony white
It dances around the warmth of light
Green grass, fly away
Keep this wicked darkness at bay
With eyes as deep as the darkest nights
Or yours won't open at first light
Don't worry, don't fray
Here in your bed you lay
It comes to claim us all
And one day, you will hear its dreadful call
