Hessian Peel lyrics

Will the children cry

When their mother dies?

And in the autumn of their lives

Will they feel the same?

(reversed 2:03 - 2:22)

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've found her out

The light comes on

The signal for us to end our lives

You wait beneath the white sheets

and you wait forever

The light comes on

Your weakness starting to erase all your lies

So I left you alone

We all left you alone

(reversed 7:21 - 7:24)

They're no longer the reason 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 the fog of flesh

Singing praise for the dead

Awaiting the face of the moon to ascend

You follow the sound in your head

In your head
