Sleep my child, peaceful sleep

What do I tell my child

of megatons, of megatons

What do I tell my child?

What do I tell my child

of fallout fears, fallout fears

What do I tell my child?

Sleep my child, peaceful sleep.

What do I tell my child

of mangled dead, mangled dead

What do I tell my child?

What do I tell my child

of purulent sores, of purulent sores

What do I tell my child?

Sleep my child, peaceful child.

What do I tell my child

of running pus, and matted blood

What do I tell my child?

What do I tell my child

of the fetid stench of blackened bodies

What do I tell my child?

Sleep my child, peaceful sleep.

What do I tell my child

of his fathers love, his fathers love

What do I tell my child?

What do I tell my child

of this world I bequeath

What do I tell my child?

Sleep my child, peaceful sleep

sleep my child

peaceful child

my failures will break upon you

all too soon.
