Pain

I kiss you dry
Oh, child of mine
And set you free
So carelessly.

Your bliss
Divine
Your scars
Like mine
I rest
In vain
Watch you
In pain.

And so the earth it parts
And from its wounds births an orphan child
A mirror to the world
For all to see its harrowing pain.

Day in, day out
They abuse
Betray their sacred earth
Day in, day out
They'll accuse you
Of claiming you are mine.

You fall apart
My child you are
(And) as if you're me
You'll collapse and scream
Each dawn is yours
Shades of azure
Will fade slowly
As you learn how it is to be me.

And so the earth it parts
And from its wounds births an orphan child
A mirror to the world
For all to see its harrowing pain.

Day in, day out
They abuse
Betray their sacred earth
Day in, day out
They'll accuse you
Of claiming you are mine.

Born to absorb all the pain in the world
Like a voodoo doll of mankind
How did I become the eye for an eye?
Fearful of your unruly wrath.
