Lirieke: Ordinary Boys. Call To Arms.
Curl up tight into a ball, curl my body against the soil
Staring up here, at the cathedral wall
I will sleep tonight, be a baby, forget it all, be a baby
Watch the quiet stones, massive friend
Cathedral wall, I will sleep tonight
A mother to the living, a mother to the dead
Silent as the moonlight, I come to lay my head
And I won't know you anymore
The puckish evening rolls once more
Into the ravenous night of hunger pains
That keep our troubled souls awake
We are forbidden to explain
A mother to the living, a mother to the dead
My ghost will drink the moonlight
Magic stones, my heart and bones
And I won't know you anymore
She's cold, she knows me cathedral wall
She's cold, she shows I borrow, keep away
Keep you away my love, my love
And pray I might sleep tonight
The violence of my heartbeat, the violence of the blood
I will sleep with the cathedral
And, one day, you'll give up and I will love you
But I won't know you anymore
My frenzied and exhausted mind
Will somehow find a way to leave you for a time?
Condemned to lying and lying awake
(These chains are all your own)
