The word you learn to love
that's Mother
They teach you to respect...
Mother

The one who keeps you warm
And shelters you from harm
Watch out she'll stunt your mind
'Til you emulate her kind
Is that Mother? Mother

Downstairs I don't know
If it's the springs in her bed
Or her joints i hear
Creaking overhead
Mother

She'll twist the words you speak
If she thinks you're near escape
Mother

So she clutches at her brood
And sits across its face
She sucks up all its energy
And smothers their last breath
Oh Mother

The thing you grow to hate

Oh Mein Papa

When a samurai cries it's like an unloved child
And when a sad child sighs you can hear the sound of lovers cry - lovers cry

Wait until the dark for the night dog's bark
Where the ravens beat their wings on broken promises - on broken promises

I promise

When a promise lies it's like a friend that dies
When a flame has died all you can do is sigh
Oh sigh sigh oh sigh sigh

And when the samurais die oh loveless child
And the nightingale sighs at the saddened
blackened sky
you will hear the sound of lovers cry
I said you will hear the sound of lovers cry
On broken promises

I promise
