Erutan – Come Little Children Lyrics 11 years ago
The song was originally written for a movie named Hocas Pocus. In this certain part of the movie, this song is sung by the "beautiful" witch when her and her two sisters are trying to lure children to their deaths.

Come Little Children,
I'll Take Thee Away
Into A Land Of Enchantment"

I guess she's telling the children to follow her and all of their troubles will be taken away from them. They won't have to deal with the horrors of the world and will get to stay in their own little Wonderland. She's hypnotizing them into thinking she's there to help but she really just wants to suck the life out of them to benefit her.

"Come Little Children
The Time's Come To Play
Here In My Garden Of Shadows"

Garden of shadows probably refers to the darkness or shade she's throwing over their true judgement because she's manipulating them into thinking she wants to help. The garden could be symbolism for all of the souls she's taken to stay young.

"Follow Sweet Children,
I'll Show Thee The Way
Through All The Pain And The Sorrows"

She's offering to take them away from any pain they're suffering in exchange for a happy life.

"Weep Not Poor Children
For Life Is This Way
Murdering Beauty And Passions"

The children are probably scared and afraid to leave with her. They know something is wrong and start crying but the witch is telling the kids that life has always been about destroying the beautiful things that are supposed to be appreciated and she wants to save them from that. Again, she's only manipulating them into thinking she's their friend and will do anything for them.

"Hush Now Dear Children,
It Must Be This Way
To Weary Of Life And Deceptions"

It must be this way is basically saying, "I have no other choice but to take you away from all of this pain and suffering. I must end your sad life to make you happy."

"Rest Now My Children
For Soon We'll Away
into The Calm And The Quiet

The children are now probably dead and she's taken their souls. Like in the movie, after signing the song, the witches led the little girl to their cabin and drained the life from her (without her being conscious of what's happening). It was a quiet and peaceful way to go and ultimately what the witch wanted.
