"Come here lover dear
Tell me what it is you hear
Just beyond this here door there's something stirring."
"I can't hear a thing
I may be blind but I can see
Even if someone was here why would they harm me?"
"Come on lover lost
Can't you see how much it's cost
For these sins you deny may cause you to waltz."
"Please don't harm my baby
She's only weak, believe me!
State it loud, please come clean
Don't please me just to please me
I love you must stop lying
You'll go to hell, you're dying!"
I watch her cough up her heart
It falls to the ground, it melts apart
And as I try to regain
The pieces that remain
Between the grains
I feel there's distance in my blood
Is boiling, God I'm freezing
I feel there's ice between the cracks
It's expanding, God I'm freezing
"Hello, mother dear
Yes, it's good to know you're near
But your stifling grasp - it won't change me
Greetings father queen
Yes, I feel you close to me
I know you're within reach
But I can't hear you speak."
"Please don't harm my baby
Master, what do you want from me?"
"There's just one thing, my son
Would you trade your life
For the one you've loved?"
"I'm no Moses, why test me?"
"This is for the count, my son
I'm waiting."
"No - but you wouldn't want me
My joints are iced
My veins are empty."
I look down to find
Some angel's knife stuck in my side
And in the sand a footprinted path
But there's only one set of tracks
He didn't carry me!
That's what I always feared
Farewell father queen
Yes, I feel you close to me
I know you're within reach
But I can't hear you speak
Goodbye, mother dear
It's so good to know you're near
But your stifling grasp - it couldn't save me
