Forget all the faces, forget all the names
Forget all the women, the wives and the dames
Step in my embrace, just come one step more
And fall through the colors, the light, and the door
My kiss brings forgiveness, my arms drink up pain
Just lie with me once, and you'll never be the same
My price is your body, your mind, and your soul
I'll take without asking, and this is the toll
So raise up your cup and drink in our halls
Pray, do not listen if your family should call
The children that serve you, with eyes cold as rain
Remember the time when they lived down the lane?
Descend into darkness, lose hope on the way
You know by now that your kind is our prey
Drop all resistance as your mind slowly fails
For we are the Fair Folk they speak of in tales

As promised! :) I've always thought children's songs were really quite creepy if you actually listened to the lyrics (Ring around the Rosy, anyone?). I imagine in Talia they sing this on sunny days, while skipping through forests, arms linked elbow-to-elbow.
