lyrics

I would steal this
boat of sorrow
across this hollow desert plain
With the rust and ashes of tomorrow
I'd paint my face and
prepare for war

but my son is dead
my heart is frozen
His eyes were brighter than the sun

Too weak to run, I'll
wait in darkness
the starving dog that I've
become
Even in death
there is no comfort
no setting sun
to see me off

because my son is dead
my heart is frozen
His eyes were brighter than the sun

and I will hang
from a wild oak tree
no weeping lover at my feet
no setting sun will
bleed out from me
no silver spade
will lay me low


because my son is dead
my heart is frozen
His eyes were brighter than the sun
I hate the god that
entered in me
and threw my life into a hole
