Baby boy in baby boots Ruddy reddened caligae On ruby crowned Caligula He fills the shoes Red shoes, blood shoes Blood boots, blood red (Too red) too well Grow into your boots Blood boots, blood shoes Silk shoes, soft sheets My sweetest son in soldier’s clothes In army boots, with baby’s blood In baby veins, in baby boots My starlit son the demon king In purple robes, stained amaranthine Laurel crowned on merlot hair On baby's head with baby's boots My withered king, my sweetest son In little boots with a baby's sword Made Rome as red as his merlot hair And amaranthine robes And ruddy boots

Caligula
Baby boy in baby boots Ruddy reddened caligae On ruby crowned Caligula He fills the shoes Red shoes, blood shoes Blood boots, blood red (Too red) too well Grow into your boots Blood boots, blood shoes Silk shoes, soft sheets My sweetest son in soldier’s clothes In army boots, with baby’s blood In baby veins, in baby boots My starlit son the demon king In purple robes, stained amaranthine Laurel crowned on merlot hair On baby's head with baby's boots My withered king, my sweetest son In little boots with a baby's sword Made Rome as red as his merlot hair And amaranthine robes And ruddy boots
