Preamble
Scamp: Celestia? Celestia: Yes? Scamp: I can't sleep. Celestia: Have you tried counting sheep? Scamp: I don't really know, I don't remember what sheep look like well, and this, and I can't count very high. Celestia: [Speaking over Scamp] Okay. Scamp: It gets confusing and stressful and... Celestia: [Speaking over Scamp] Umm... You could count, uh, birds. Scamp: The counting's still a problem. Celestia: Right! Umm... Deep breaths? I don't know? Scamp: [Shyly] Could you sing to me? ...Nevermind Celestia: I-I like singing, I can sing to you, that's okay. Umm... What songs do I know? Oh dear, all the songs that I know are not suitable for children. Scamp: Well... Celestia: You're still a child and you're asking for a lullaby so therefore you count as a child right now! Fuck. Oh, wait wait wait. I know one. Scamp: Okay? Celestia: It's one that they sing to the children where I come from. Scamp: Right? Celestia: It's a Drow lullaby? Scamp: Okay?

Lyrics
Spinnerets and threads will draw you close Spinnerets and threads will bring you home Tread softly now across the web And it will bring you over the depths

Spinnerets, cocoons, will make you croon So by ninth chime you’ll surely swoon Fangs bite deep and drag you to sleep Spinnerets and threads will draw you deep

Spinnerets and threads and long silk strands Will guide you to those pleasant lands That lie across the great abyss That swallows up all of those non-loyalists

Spinnerets and threads around your throat Catch the weak, they wink out like motes And down into the darkest abyss If you would survive and pass beyond this

Then you must be as strong silk thread Smart as the spider, inspire dread You must embrace all that is to be Now find Drow strength and loyalty

Now gently to sleep, remember all this The path to cross the endless abyss The weak and disloyal into the pit throw While spinnerets and threads will bring you home

Epilogue
Celestia: Better? Scamp: I'm never sleeping again.
