Hand in hand, she walks with me
And the shame - it's burning my eyes
Etching every memory in time,
Just to be by her side
Her face: carved deeply in innocence
She walks and she secretly smiles,
Taunting with a lover's grin
And she laughs as she watches me die
Now we are here and there is no forgiveness
Empty words are the promises within
Without a passing thought, I shed my life to join them
Eden is burning and lovers delve in sin
(Empty words are the promises within)
Beneath her bone, white toes - they are crawling
Slovenly, grotesque entities dance
(Eden is burning and lovers delve in sin)
Two by two, they are gathering around us
Each clad in tear-stained robes of Man
(Hand in hand, we walk in shame)
Endless laughter echoes in silence -
They watch unashamed as our mother grows old
(Mother is dying and we are to blame)
Faceless and empty, they outstretch their fingers
To welcome us into their tower of gold
And the shame - it's burning my eyes
Etching every memory in time,
Just to be by her side
Her face: carved deeply in innocence
She walks and she secretly smiles,
Taunting with a lover's grin
And she laughs as she watches me die
Now we are here and there is no forgiveness
Empty words are the promises within
Without a passing thought, I shed my life to join them
Eden is burning and lovers delve in sin
(Empty words are the promises within)
Beneath her bone, white toes - they are crawling
Slovenly, grotesque entities dance
(Eden is burning and lovers delve in sin)
Two by two, they are gathering around us
Each clad in tear-stained robes of Man
(Hand in hand, we walk in shame)
Endless laughter echoes in silence -
They watch unashamed as our mother grows old
(Mother is dying and we are to blame)
Faceless and empty, they outstretch their fingers
To welcome us into their tower of gold
