The stars aren’t shining
The night is blackened
And I'm gasping for air
My only child has ripped himself from me
The trees are sighing
The crow has crackled
And I’ve said my silent prayer
This deviant boy, he has shamed me

This peaceful face
Dreaming
I want to hold you
I want to hold you
I want to hold you

This pale face
Lifeless
I want to hate you
I want to hate you
I want to hate you

Walking past these pews
I wish to hold you
The color or your face matches the
While light you’ve followed
All this, just for you
You have our attention
Your final act
Desperate, vengeful

This peaceful face
Dreaming
I want to hold you
I want to hold you
I want to hold you

This pale face
Lifeless
I want to hate you
I want to hate you
I want to hate you

What is done cannot be undone
What is done, is done
What is done cannot be undone
What have we done, what have we done

This peaceful face
Dreaming
I want to hold you
I want to hold you
I want to hold you
