FACELESS

Murder

Strum it as loud as you can,

the night is dying and we might not survive,

do you see the figures dancing so wild?

underneath the coal making love to the fire,

he said:

have you heard the forest sing?
the trees well they told me all there is,

they think my pain is nonexistent

they think you don't love me,

so I took you down the river and chocked you free,

The man carried the body all up to the hill,

down on his knees, he prayed silently:

Can you forgive me, I am your son,

I know I sin a lot and drink too much,

but can you forgive me?

the anger I carry?

I'll get rid of the body if you promise to heal me,

Play it as loud as you can,

let the forest know what you did

let me die with the fire,

figures dancing, they weep with you,

you killed your wife and your soul too

no amount of god can spare you from this,

by morning light you'll regret what you did,

So strum it as loud as you can,

the night is dead and none of us survived.
