My sweet children May you gather around? Take in the colours Of the world that surrounds Memory may grip you But know not the pain Of surrender to the World Know my Will instead My sweet children I'll never lead you astray I bore you; I shall raise you Till death's door you meet My sweet children May you gather around? Take in the sounds That so abound Know the grace Of living without shackles This I can grant you If you choose to follow My sweet children I'll never send you away I bore you; I shall raise you Until Man takes me away                      

Drive the stake through my heart But don't let the wound be clean Twist it through, cause jagged pain Until my grasp is severed Bring disquiet to my soul With your every look and touch Spur me forth with your wicked tongue Make me weep for Rest This bittersweet agony I cannot bear The wish to cry is overwhelming Yet no sound my lips may let For my grief is your pleasure No Rest is found in Disquiet This claim you've staked on my soul Is just to much to bear And I wonder . . .     If Release shall ever be granted to me

The ringing of my screaming has echoed In my ears for years The blood that spattered down my dress Doesn't haunt me The pain that ripped through me Doesn't cause me tears But the child I was holding I do weep for I know not if she was real, Yet I loved her I sheltered her in my arms, Just a mother I held her as I died,   And I wonder . . .   What became of my child?   My sweet baby girl . . .     The love of my life;   The one I lived for;                                 The one I died for It's been centuries since then I tried to find some record Of the truth that I had lived The cellar that I died in --   Does it remain today

Understand not me Nobody boast of comprehension Tides ebb, take our knowledge Take away from me Everything I claim to own Take away from me Those I thought had cared Take away from me The innocence I dared Take away from me The youth I ensnared Understand not me Nobody boast of comprehension The tides took away Everything you knew Of me
