Will their children cry
 When their mother dies
 And in the autumn of their lives
 Will they feel the same?
 "I see you
 My sweet Satan
 Come back tonight
 Out of the courtyard"
 Her longing for me
 Comin' down like hail
 Why did you leave me?
 Come here inside
 And tell me how
 How in my final days
 I've found her out
 The light comes on
 The signal for us to end our lives
 You wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever
 The night comes on
 Your weakness starting to erase all your lies
 So I left you alone
 We all left you alone
 "They'll lock all your reasons why"
 Lock the children away from harm
 They'll lock all your reason why
 Seeking tenderness with a dagger
 Skin is blocked by the years of trial
 You felt abandoned in the fog of flesh
 Sitting in place from the dead
 Awaiting the face of the moon to ascend
 You follow the siren in your head
 In your head
