On December 13th, on Saint Lucy's Day The choir sings season’s songs Under fluorescent lights in a pale white room In a tiny pale white town In rural districts Where you wouldn't ever go And I will never return And behind the wall in a shiny glass bottle Every slow breath flows like pearls Through sterilized water with a warm bubbling sound In a dim, quiet room Where quiet people Have gathered around the bed Holding hands, holding tears Holding each others hands Hey tearful people In the end everything Is forgiven when the darkness falls Hey teaful people, don't you know that In the end everything Is forgiven when the darkness falls And a pale blond girl, a candle in her pale white hands, Pearls in her pale blue eyes Leads the choir away in a pale white corridor, Under pale fluorescent lights Singing turns into Echoes and distant sounds And fades away, won't return And behind the wall, last inhale through plastic tubes Last exhale through chapped lips Before it's over Hey tearful people...
