Close your eyes, go to sleep"''"

""Twinkle twinkle little... star...

How I wonder what... you... are...

Up above the world so... high...

Like a diamond in the... sky...

When the blazing sun is... gone...

When the nothing shines upon...

Then you show your little light

Twinkle twinkle all the... night

Then the trav'ler in the dark

Thanks you for your little spark

He could not see which way to... go...

If you did not... twinkle... so...

When the blazing sun is... gone...

When the nothing shines upon...

Though I know not what you... are...

Twinkle, twinkle little... star...""

my father is eating me...

my brothers and sisters, sit under the table,

picking up my bones!

They'll bury them,

under the cold marble stones...""

Zagreus sups time at a drip

And life aside, he's sweeping."

"Tick tock goes the clock

And what now shall we play?

Tick tock goes the clock

Now summer’s gone away?

Tick tock goes the clock

And what then shall we see?

Tick tock until the day

That thou shalt marry me

Tick tock goes the clock

And all the years they fly

Tick tock and all too soon

You and I must die

Tick tock goes the clock

We laughed at fate and mourned her

Tick tock goes the clock

Even for

Tick tock goes the clock

And all the years they fly

Tick tock goes the clock

Tick tock goes the clock

He cradled her and he rocked her

Tick tock goes the clock

Til

Tick tock goes the clock

He gave all he could give her

Tick tock goes the clock

Now prison waits for River"
