"Mercede's Lullaby"



This is a song I've been dreaming of covering for a while, 
but just didn't quite know how to approach it. 
Finally, I decided to write a poem:

Wild the fairy garden grows
Twining 'round like mistletoe
Poison sweet as berry wine
Fauns know which one is kind

There are no such things as leaves
Only baby fairy trees
Branches grow as strong as horns
Ones that fauns can adorn

Do... do you dare
Secrets everywhere


A special thank-you to my dear friend and fellow musician, Chris, 
for coaching me on Castilian speech and translating my lyrics. 
{He sure makes a creepily beautiful Pan, methinks.}

Instruments, lyrics, vocals: Ashley Serena
