Bedtime Story Chapters 1 & 2

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to my creator my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray I die rich
(So my family'll be straight)

Yeah that's the family prayer
Yeah that's the family prayer
Loyalty over royalty
Ain't ever no betrayal
All facts non-fiction
Baby this is not a fable

Okay, okay bedtime
Gather round now little kids
Daddy's here to tell a story
As it's time to tuck you in
About a man who became king
Although he wasn't born a prince
See there was dragon wings
And fairy queens
And a whole world full of myths
Well how did he ascend to the throne
When he was born down in the abyss
I'd have to tell you
About the abominations
He was up against
From birth he was blessed with a gift
A light that shined like no other
And there was demons, ghouls and goblins
Who were all eager to take it from him
Cause they all wanted the lime light
To stand in the crowd and shine bright
But if you don't first have your mind right
It turns to a curse with a high price
And the only way to conquer hate
And navigate through the dark
Is to let go of all of the negative
Energy inside your heart

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to my creator my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray I die rich
(So my family'll be straight)

Yeah that's the family prayer
Yeah that's the family prayer
Loyalty over royalty
Ain't ever no betrayal
All facts non-fiction
Baby this is not a fable

He happened upon a fateful encounter
In a village passing through
Unbeknownst to him
Life would be forever changed
On that afternoon
He laid eyes upon her beauty
And knew that his feelings were absolute
Let me tell you all about it
As we embark on
(Chapter two)

He was lost inside of a realm
Of scary things where everything
Can ever be judged by its cover
Nothing's as it ever seems
Monsters he thought were there for him
Were only there for everything
And he would have been lost forever
Had he not met the Fairy Queen
And there she is
That's your mommy
She's the queen of the fairies
He knew the moment he laid eyes on her
One day they'd be married
He had visions of the future
And all the kids she would carry
And before they ever shared a word
She was fixing, repairing
His broken soul for you see
The curse had taken its toll
She was his other half
And that's what it takes to be whole
She repaved all the broken lanes
On memory road
And that's why he became a king
So he could give her the throne
Cause see he felt that he owed
Her everything she deserves
But the see the greatest part
Is love is all she wants in return
Now rest your eyes children
And remember time isn't borrowed
And when you wake up
Maybe we'll finish the story tomorrow
