The eyes rattle off their story.
Smiling suffering told
She's bound and gagged, terror, bruises
The child sleeps, hopefully.
Sleep becomes pain
The day is sick
"This night I'll slave away
Above all earthly matters."
The child sleeps, hopefully.
Don't rock the boat, calm will come soon
A blow like a wave, seldom alone. Harden your heart.
Protection was dearly bought, you are a slave
Does the child hear this noise?
Will I sleep in drying blood?
The rope burned her wrist
Nails slashed against the flesh
The black of night wishes for heat
You cause my death. Doesn't hurt.
