Priestess Lullaby

This lullaby is from Fatal Frame: 3 The Tormented, I like this song for personal reasons and felt that I should acknowledge the song and meaning....

Verse One:

"Sleep, Priestess, lie in Peace.
Sleep, Priestess, lie in Peace.
If you cry, the boat you'll ride,
The last trip to the other side.
Once you get there
Sacred marks you'll bear,
They shall be peeled off,
Should you fail to lie still."

Verse Two:
"Sleep, Priestess, lie in Peace.
Sleep, Priestess, lie in Peace.
If the Priestess wakes from her dream,
Perform the rite of stakes, her limbs pinned tight,
Lest the doors open wide, and suffering unleashed on all."

Verse Three:
"Go to the other side.
Go to the other side.
Cast the boat, take a ride,
Cross the rift, to the other side.
Further and further, to the other side.
It must sail bearing your Tattoo's and our offering of tears.

Author's Note

My mother sang this to me when I was little around 1992. In 2005 or 06 the same lullaby came out in a game I am completely obssessed with now.....
