❀ Lullaby For A Prince // Baekyeol FF Base

 

Fate has been cruel and order unkind 
How can I have sent you away? 
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours 
The harmony's silent today 
 
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song 
And I will your company keep 
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies 
Have carried you softly to sleep 
 
Once did a man who shone like the sun 
Look out on his kingdom and sigh 
He smiled and said, "Surely, there is no body 
So lovely and so well beloved as I" 
 
So great was his reign and so brilliant his glory 
That long was the shadow he cast 
Which fell dark upon the young brother he loved 
And grew only darker as days and nights passed 
 
Lullay moon prince, goodnight brother mine 
And rest now in moonlight's embrace 
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth 
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space 
 
Carry the peace and the coolness of night 
And carry my sorrow in kind 
Chanyeol, you're loved so much more than you know 
Forgive me for being so blind 
 
Soon did that man take notice that others 
Did not give his brother his due 
And neither had he loved him as he deserved 
He watched as his brother's unhappiness grew 
 
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly 
Takes hold of the mind of its host 
And that foolish man did nothing to stop 
The destruction of one who had needed him most 
 
Lullay moon prince, goodnight brother mine 
And rest now in moonlight's embrace 
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth 
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space 
 
Carry the peace and the coolness of night 
And carry my sorrow in kind 
Chanyeol, you're loved so much more than you know 
May troubles be far from your mind 
And forgive me for being so blind 
 
The years now before us 
Fearful and unknown 
I never imagined 
I'd face them on my own 
 
May these thousand winters 
Swiftly pass, I pray 
I love you; I miss you 
All these miles away 
 
May all your dreams be sweet tonight 
Safe upon your bed of moonlight 
And know not of sadness, pain, or care 
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there 
Sleep...
