The Kinderfresser

There is tale of a giant hag that wanders the streets looking for children that are up late at night. The Kinderfresser will sneak around peering through windows in search of children awake at night. When they do the Kinderfresser uses it's magic to unlock windows and doors, sneaking into the child's bed and snatching them up quick at lighting! Then puts the child inside their enchanted bag to take back to it's lair. So sleep tight, little ones, or the Kinderfresser will come for a visit.   Kinderfresser Lullaby.   (Verse 1) In the dark of night, when the moon is high, Beware, my child, of the Kinderfresser's eye, With gnarled fingers and a heart so cold, She hunts for children, young and bold.   (Chorus) Hush now, my dear, and close your eyes tight, For the Kinderfresser haunts the night, She'll steal your dreams, if you're not still, So rest, my love, and let your fears be nil.   (Verse 2) Through shadows she creeps, a sinister wraith, Searching for those who stay up too late, With a cackle like thunder and a wicked grin, She'll unlock your window and slip right in.   (Chorus) Hush now, my dear, and close your eyes tight, For the Kinderfresser haunts the night, She'll steal your dreams, if you're not still, So rest, my love, and let your fears be nil.   (Verse 3) In her enchanted bag, she'll tuck you away, To her lair in the darkness, where nightmares play, But fear not, my child, for I am here, To shield you from her, to keep you near.   (Chorus) Hush now, my dear, and close your eyes tight, For the Kinderfresser haunts the night, She'll steal your dreams, if you're not still, So rest, my love, and let your fears be nil.   (Verse 4) With the morning's light, she'll slink away, Back into the shadows, to hide by day, But in your dreams, she'll always roam, A cautionary tale to keep you home.   (Chorus) Hush now, my dear, and close your eyes tight, For the Kinderfresser haunts the night, She'll steal your dreams, if you're not still, So rest, my love, and let your fears be nil.   (Outro) So sleep, my child, with a heart so light, For the Kinderfresser fades with morning's light, In dreams, you're safe, and your fears are still, Rest now, my love, and let your dreams fulfill.
