Will the children cry
When their mother dies?
And in the autumn of their lives
Will they feel the same?

[reversed]
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 starting to erase all your lies
So I left you alone
We all left you alone

[reversed]
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 trials

You felt abandoned in a flock of friends
Singing praise for the dead
Awaited the face of the moon to ascend
And followed the sound in your head

In your head
