The sky is red
Clouds are grey
And copper moon
One day I'll tell you
The threats are veiled, snow-blind at first
Unfurl the
For heavens blue
Or dark uncertain waters
Gone
Now carry on through violent seasons
I call you mother, mother, mother in vain
Absent chain
The twilight's bleeding
And the playing board has two unbalanced pieces
No word is said
Castle grey and Sunday soon
One day I'll kill you
The raining sheets batter the ground
Unroll the streets
And walk along on high uncertain wires
Gone
Now carry on through seasick seasons
I'm crawling mother, mother, mother in vain
Absent frame
The twilight's kneeling
And the chessboard still has two unbalanced pieces
Gone
Now carry on through violent seasons
I call you mother, mother, mother in vain
Absent chain
The twilight's bleeding
And the playing board has two unbalanced pieces
Gone
Now carry on through seasick seasons
I'm crawling mother, mother, mother in vain
Absent frame
The twilight's kneeling
And the chessboard still has two unbalanced pieces
