Will their children cry, when their mother dies. And in the autumn of their lives, will they feel the same? "I see you my sweet Satan. Come back tonight, out of the courtyard." Her longing for me, coming down like hail. Why did you leave me? Come here inside and tell me how. How in my final days I've found her out. The light comes on, the signal for us to end our lives. You wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever. The night comes on, your weakness starting to erase all your lies. So I left you alone, we all left you alone. Lock the children away from harm. They'll lock all your reason why, seeking tenderness with a dagger. Skin is blocked by the years of trial, you felt abandoned in the fog of flesh. Sitting in place from the dead, awaiting the face of the moon to ascend. You follow the siren in your head
