Every year, seven thousand babies die without any visible cause—simply fall asleep and never wake up… The “death in the cradle” syndrome? Or—Death to the “cradle song”?
To the lullaby that, as they say, was sung to children “in some ancient cultures during famine and drought… Or when the tribe grew so large that it could no longer feed itself on its own land.”
A lullaby sung to maimed in battle and fatally ill—everyone for whom it would have been better to die. Quiet. Without pain.
Without suffering…
This is the “Lullaby.”
