The day is withering Broken by the weight of time All shadows cast Grow longer Till they smother light and leave no trace or evidence Of the fiery life that has fallen silent, till new moon resurrection recalls the phoenix Leave this a monument of dreams dreamt Of love shared Of gods challenged and victory over mortal chains Snatched away In the attempt All the little children All dressed in black With their darkened eyes And holy artifacts Mamas watch your babies Keep them safe and sound Don't let them play in graveyards Don't let them find this out You may be sorry You may be sorry peculiarities speaking Arising from their mouths It must be the devil Making these horrid sounds Speak no evil, baby Your daddy told you twice Don't be some sort of freak Lost lonely in the night You may be sorry You may be sorry Pallid cheeks and perfumed skin This midnight love's corrosion Clandestine fingers wander Symbiotic fed explosion comes harrowing cold to these Another line to feed like fish within the net Like babies caught in sleep Caught in sleep [spoken] Break the stem Spare the petals this answer Let me fall quickly Beautiful still And when they inter me Let rain be my mourning Let thunder cry my demise And death lay her kiss Gently on my paling lips You may be sorry
