Will the children cry When their mother dies And in the autumn of their lives Will they feel the same
"I see you My sweet Satan Come back tonight Out of the courtyard"
Her longing for me coming down like hail Why did you leave me
Come here inside and tell me how How in my final days I'd find the rhyme
The light comes on The signal for us to act out our lives You wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever
The light comes on Your weakness storing trace on your arms So I left you alone We all left you alone
"They'll lock all your reasons why"
Lock the children away from harm They're no longer your reason why Seeking tenderness with a dagger Skin is marked by the years of trial
You felt abandoned in a flock of friends Singing a praise for the dead Awaiting the face of the moon to ascend you follow the sound in your head
in your head
