A husband waits outside
A crying child pushes a child into the night
She was told he would come this time
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
To ignite at last the perfect plan
One more sweet boy to be butchered by man
But it came way too soon
Still outside the window
Each of them
Would never belong to angels
And never belong to him
A sword upon Peter's head
Empire upon Jerusalem
A grandmother smuggling maids
Past where the godchild soldiers attempt us to dig
Our graceful turner of heads
Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
Someone's frightened, boy, wait!
Someone's frightened, boy, wait!


A child leaves her arms
She offers a mother's smile
And soon she's gone
The gateway to the world
Gone in a trembling hand
When nature all makes her bembring
A pillar amidst the sky
A pillar amidst the sky
I swear I'm only the head
I can't bear a body to last
I can't bear a body to last
I can't bear a body to last
