Little birds born without a mother or a father |
|
I can feel their feathers forming in the running water |
|
Now there is another in the middle of my mouth |
|
A hundred altogether inside of me now |
|
Little birds, little birds, come into my body |
|
|
|
Mother, they're within me every moment I'm awaking |
|
Bodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me |
|
Put your ears up to my mouth and you can hear them singing |
|
Put you hands within me and you'll know what I am feeling |
|
I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them |
|
|
|
Daddy, come towards me I could see his hands are shaking |
|
Put his hands against me he could feel their bodies breaking |
|
Pushed me to the floor and put his hands up for a beating |
|
I don't want to hear it anymore, he kept repeating |
|
Do you really want the burning hell to come and get you? |
|
|
|
Did you see the burning hell it took your baby brother? |
|
Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer? |
|
Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover |
|
And deep in sin they held each other |
|
|
|
So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in |
|
Knowing God in heaven no could never could forgive him |
|
So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in |
|
|
|
Little boy born without a mother or a father |
|
Taken to the river and then pushed into the water |
|
And the priests are singing that the hell was getting hotter |
|
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA |
|
|
|
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the only ones to save him |
|
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him |
|
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the only ones to save him |
|
|
|
And here beneath the water I can see how the light distorts so strange |
|
And this is how I would like to leave my body and start again |
