The Fight

I never did, no I don't think
I ever will quite get the hang of this
After so long, I should by now
Well I should know how to talk to you
But I never did, now I don't think
I ever will quite get the hang of it
Well I hear you say we're not in love
but does it mean, you have to leave?
Ain't nothing wrong with feelin' ok
I always settle on a passing grade
Ain't nothing wrong with feelin' alright
Love's just a battle that ain't worth a fight
I don't give it thought, now that you're gone
No I don't think too much of you
But now and then there is a venom in my mouth
That tastes like you
I spend the day spitting it out
It takes the day and my breath away
But once it's gone, I don't give it thought
Cuz I don't think that much of you
Ain't nothing wrong with feelin' ok
I always settle on a passing grade
Ain't nothing wrong with feelin' alright
Love's just a battle that ain't worth a fight
Our love's a battle that ain't worth a fight

Stay

I am the ice beneath your feet
Slip down and lay with me
I am the ghost in your home
You'll never need to sleep alone
So can you
Stay with me
C'mon and
Stay with me
Why won't you
Stay with me
You are all I need
I am the dirt on your tomb
I just wanna rest on top of you
I am the arrow in your heart
So tell me, can you feel me reaching through?
And can you
Stay with me
C'mon and
Stay with me
Why won't you
Stay with me
You are all I need
I gave it all, there's nothing left
But I'd follow you through hell
Just don't leave me to myself
So can you
Stay with me (I am nothing without you)
C'mon and
Stay with me (I will crumble without you)
Why won't you
Stay with me (I am nothing without you)
You are all I need

Easy Thievery

Fill my head with your song
Guide my hands to your shores
Sing of the home where I belong
Cover the tomb I'm walking on
Reap all you want of me
Steal the money and run
I am what you need of me
I am easy thievery
Spring the trap, I am your prize
Take me now, make me yours
Grip me close, cover my eyes
Reveal the graves in your falling tides
Reap all you want of me
Steal the money and run
I am what you need of me
I am easy thievery

Hearts

Leave the dead to rest
Send your heart to its bed
Fall on your knees, fall on your knees
Lay them to rest, lay them to rest
The air is cool underground
The river runs red and brown
Fall on your knees, fall on your knees
Lay them to rest (for lo the autumn's here)
Lay them to rest (until the spring has come)
We take the hearts from the dead
We plant them deep in the beds
Fall on your knees, fall on your knees
Light the pyre, light the pyre
-
Far from the citadel
Far from its burning hill
On the land my father tilled
In the house his father built
I watch him sleeping here
He watched me through the years
He kept me safe and sound
I won't put him in the ground
I hear the autumn drums
An army of hungry worms
They can tear my limbs apart (We'll tear your limbs apart / For lo the autumn's here)
But they will not have his heart (And then we'll have his heart / Until the spring has come)
May eternal winter grant us peace
-
The sacrifice is yet fulfilled
Carry him, carry him up to the hill
You will fall to your knees
Lo take heed of this mercy
If you will not give us your dead
Your heart will do instead
Throw him in, throw him in, throw him in the pyre

Mothers

We worship no god
We praise no idol
We follow no priest
No church, no creed, no titles
With Man as our father
We pray to each other
Walk among the holy
All of us, all of us
Mothers
