Beware the stakes, when you choose a path to take
You'll have to say goodbye, as you go from your old to new life
It's their decision, and for them I must not choose
Because if I save you, there are a few rules
An eye for an eye, a life for a life
If I save you, you become mine
So tell me little one, who shines brighter than the stars and sun
The time to decide is now, what would you have done?
If you want to stay, I will turn around and go away but
I promise to be worth your while, I live for your smile
If it's for the children to play, I will continue to slay
With a twist of the wrist, and a shift of my weight
I will cut everyone down, I will bloody the ground
Clean them up right after, so i can hear the children's laughter
Some trade sanity for safety, blood for belonging
Others trade their pain for a chance to live again
The things they wish for, I make them come true
Then I will take them away, to a far away place
Where they can laugh and play, or even squander the day away
So long as they are happy, so long as they are safe
Little one I will do anything, to protect their life and smiles
Will you let me do this for you?
*kid replies*
With your decision in mind, I am going to save your life
(or)
With your decision in mind, I can no longer save your life
(outcome depends on the child's will)
