The dangers of the world are numerous,

They're numerous alright,

But don't you fear, young child,

I don't wish to give you a fright.

Sure, there are monsters, demons, spirits

That can come at you by surprise,

But you'll be fine, my child,

As long as you close your eyes.

You'll fall into a deep sleep,

Unaware of impending doom,

You won't even awaken

To find the figure in your room.

Shadowy, dark, and ominous,

The figure will take you away

To its secluded and eerie fortress

Far from the light of day.

Oh, the dangers of the world are numerous,

They're numerous alright,

But slumber on, dear child,

I beg you to sleep tight.
