Mourning

Don’t wait for me now

I’m already lost

Don’t cry for me now

I’ve already lost

Don’t pray for me now

I was god

Don’t waste words on

A failure

The shepherd killed the flock

And Mother

Still I’m torn

The Mother

Of a still born

Blood of my own

Flesh of my bone

All that I’ve known

Is gone

And Where you did go

And what have you done

The love of a mother

Cannot save the son

A Holocaust

A martyr

The corpse of every daughter

The child left for slaughter

They fall on you

Oh how I’ve failed

I’ll take you away

I unsay your name

I give myself away

They fall on me this way

Death makes all things right
