And so it must be repeated…
…when the cat scratches at the door wanting to be let in
come, come
And so it must be repeated…
…when screeches of missiles fly overhead
run, run
And so it must be repeated…
…when Mama’s voice soothes the frayed edges
there, there
And so it must be repeated…
…when the fringe comes to the centre
win, win
And so it must be repeated…
…when the image of the devil is hailed as a hero
praise, praise
And so it must be repeated…
…when all the signs of dying breaths disappear
gone, gone
And so it must be repeated…
…when the locks are bolted after sunset
tight, tight
And so it must be repeated…
…when shiny ribbons emerge from the dust
curiouser and curiouser
And so it must be repeated…
…when the tide rises to overwhelm the bloodied sands
rush, rush
And so it must be repeated…
…when the swarm of flies search for new flesh
buzz buzz
And so it must be repeated…
…when the ghoulish fiends build castles on the haunted beach
higher and higher
And so it must be repeated…
…when the night breaks so does the heart
beat
beat
beat
