Little One
         by Erzsebet Bathory

Come, Little One, follow me
I'll show you the secrets of life.
The light and the friendly
But don't be fooled by appearance
It's also dark and evil.
This would is full of splendid things
None so fine as living.
So, come, Little One, follow me
And I'll show you he secrets of life.

I see you've followed
Just as I've requested.
Are you ready?
Be sure you want the secret of life
For once you have it you can never go back
No more family, leaving all of your friends.
Are you sure this is what you want?

Your choice has damned you.
Concluding your wish to be as I
Take this warning before you swear upon your choice
You'll never be truly happy, although you may seem it.
Be careful, Little One, your choice is your world.
Make a decision..

You remain stubborn
But your wish is my command.
You're in for a living Hell.
Don't struggle, transformation will be quick.
Time will stand still for you forever.
Come, Little One, follow me your time has come.

Now you know how I feel
Time not moving, staying the same.
Why did you want this?
It makes no sense.
I've warned you and now you know.
So come no more to cry and complain
You'll adjust in time.
This is the secret of life:
Never want to be as you aren't
For once you change, you can never go back.
