So pure... Innocence... Not ready... For this abomination
Got to leave a light on Got to look her in the eyes and tell her Everything will be all right, as always
Stay right here in the darkness Don’t you cry, you have nothing to fear
Close the door on a treasure An endangered species Can’t afford to lose her Can’t show her the outside world It kills me to imagine her Thrown like a sheep in this atrocity
Wish we could stick together You and me we’re here ‘til the end You’re locked up here forever Wish I could sew your eyes together You’re a diamond not a daughter If I can’t face this world why would you? You’re my pride, you’re my sculpture Sweet child I won’t betray you
Your chains are my love Your ignorance my hope
I can feel I am losing you I know I can’t protect you any longer
Let me gather the matches (and the gasoline) Don’t cry darling (you won’t feel a thing) They have tracked us down (there’s no time to waste) They intend to free you (only to soil you) I will never let it happen (you can trust me) Close your eyes, your life ends with mine
