hush now my son
and don't make a peep
this may be the last time we speak
the bombs are dropping over our heads
we may all wind up dead
don't you worry as the lights go out
i'll hold you close as it all falls down
just remember this life as a dream
try to black out all of the screams
mommy's making cookies for us all
watching as all the pretty butterflies fall
the end is coming, never you fear
the other side shimmers so clear
hush now my boy and go to sleep
this life is over, you don't have to weep
watch the lights flash, before our eyes
stifling all life as it dies
