lyrics

Brija:
this tale not all will attend
for some here the story ends
in a spot no one else knows
the spot their heart just broke
and not all heals again

the sun late in the day
in soft light the bedroom paints
for hours now she's been
beside this empty bed
and tears and tears cascade

this tale not all will attend
for some right here the story ends


Danijela:
Lay my body down,
lay me in the cold dark ground
cover me with dirt and stone and spread some roses round
if years and years it takes
there's no need for us to wait
since the day the lights inside went out

Lay my body down,
lay me in the cold dark ground
kiss me once and tell me sweet goodnight
just like i've always done for my baby who is gone
taken so so far now from my sight


Lay my body down
lay me in the cold dark ground
too many days to wake and walk about
a ghost lost in the grind, just marking out my time
since the day the light inside went out

lay, lay my body down
i cannot bear this, my heart is ripped on out
my baby, my baby she is gone
today's the day the light inside went out

It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
