Demons Dream in Carnival Lullabies

Demons Dream in Carnival Lullabies
by me(whatever)
to: ateotu- In a Rainy Town, Balloons dance with Devils (English version)

In the outskirts of town,
there's a circus frisking about.
Child in pajamas, crouching in the trees,
"what a pretty one you are!"

a gentle melody from the box,
a lullaby stretched from bony fingers.
tied around the balloon strings,
the devil wears a smile in the night.

Crying in the clear moon is a guardian,
as the child runs home with a friend embraced.
Warmly tucked away in the woods,
sleeping beauty awakes and sings, broken.

the rain springs in the early morning,
whispering in your ear as an afterthought.
Fallen angel dances the ballet in circles,
holding her breath so she won't be noticed.

If you return once, the tents have floated away,
crunching popcorn underneath your shoes.
winding trails peer at the child through dark eyes,
"what a pretty one you are!"
