The Daughters' Lullaby

Summary

The High Priestess sings her seven daughters to sleep.

Spoilers for Season 5 of Samurai Jack.

Filk song lyrics, first posted online November 11 2019.

Notes

Set to the the song "Mordred's Lullaby" by Heather Dale

Probable OOC behavior of the High Priestess on principle, but I felt that if she did sing her daughters lullabies, they would probably sound like the lullabies sung by Heather Dale's interpretation of Morgan Le Fay.

The Daughters' Lullaby

Hush, girls,
the shadows will start to whisper
and send you off into slumber
Girls, the shadows will start to whisper
and send you off into slumber

My daughters, I'll mold your worldview
So you'll uphold the glory of Aku
and you won't question all the pain you'll go through
for the master you'll always look up to

Your duty, your duty, your duty, your duty
your duty, your duty, your duty only will be

My daughters, you'll always despise
The samurai seeking our master's demise
for you will be raised as warriors likewise
and our victory will come as soon as he dies

Your duty, your duty, your duty, your duty
your duty, your duty, your duty only will be

Hush, girls,
the shadows will start to whisper
and send you off into slumber
Girls, the shadows will start to whisper
and send you off into slumber

Your duty, your duty, your duty, your duty
your duty, your duty, your duty only will be

My daughters, as is in your nature
that you were raised to fight against a so-called savior
for you my seven daughters, will fight and endure
or die having given your lives in failure

Your duty, your duty, your duty, your duty
your duty, your duty, your duty only will be

Hush, girls,
the shadows will start to whisper
and send you off into slumber
Girls, the shadows will start to whisper
and send you off into slumber
