Cocorosie - Fatherhood lyrics

Beasts and demons, good is God Broken soldier, the devil been sold You left me in my mother's womb Teenage burn-out womb to tomb My mother never enjoyed you lot She warned me of your ghostly blast Twisted spider, poisoned web You took my childhood before I had Beasts and demons mystical You showed me nature's miracle Prayed beneath, below a sky Darkest ravens feathers But in the end, your children die They'll meet you in heaven Your soul, it can never die Even if you're poison Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch them walk away Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch them walk away So the moral of the story is Magic doesn't save your kids They needed love to grow up tall Like the purple mountains You held my hand in a shoppping mall This is all I've counted I'm broken, blue, a ba*tard Now every man's a ba*tard A black and a crystal crucifix These shoes are big, they almost fit I gaze down at my mama's feet I guess I got my mama's feet All new babes, I forget your name You named the boy your namesake Unicorn, tongue of a snake Was my little sister's fate Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch them walk away Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch them walk away Was this all a big mistake? Now I got my legacy To live and die and to create I suppose I should thank you You never were the violent type Only with your mentals I used to hold your coffee cup You taught me fundamentals Of all the evils of the world And only you can save it Mother's a witch with her black hair And only you could save her Your first born son, the chosen one What happened to messiah? Jesus always your right hand What happened to messiah? Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch them walk away Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch them walk away Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch them walk away We watch, we watch, we watch our fathers walk away We watch, we watch, we watch them walk away We watch, we watch, we watch our fathers walk away
