When their mother dies
And in the autumn of their lives
Will they feel the same?
[reversed lyrics 2: 03-2: 22]
The longing for me
Comin' down like hail
Why did you leave me?
Come here inside
And tell me how
How in my final days
You found around
Your concern
The signal for us to end our lives
To wipe beneath the watches
And you wait forever
The night comes high
Your weakness
Storing trace on your eyes
So I left you alone
We all left you alone
[reversed lyrics 7: 21-7: 24]
Lock the children away from harm
They'll lock all your reason why
Seeking tenderness with a dagger
Skin is blocked by the years of trial
You felt abandoned in the fog of flesh
Sitting in place from the dead
Awaiting the face of the moon to ascend
You follow the siren in your head
In your head
Will their children cry When their mother dies And in the autumn of their lives Will they feel the same? [reversed lyrics 2: 03-2: 22] The longing for me Comin' down like hail Why did you leave me? Come here inside And tell me how How in my final days You found around Your concern The signal for us to end our lives To wipe beneath the watches And you wait forever The night comes high Your weakness Storing trace on your eyes So I left you alone We all left you alone [reversed lyrics 7: 21-7: 24] Lock the children away from harm They'll lock all your reason why Seeking tenderness with a dagger Skin is blocked by the years of trial You felt abandoned in the fog of flesh Sitting in place from the dead Awaiting the face of the moon to ascend You follow the siren in your head In your head Explain Request ×
