Don't tell the dawn The stars protect the day They disappear Or were they ever there My light reveals The shadow that lives in you Its crippled psalm Why's it hurt so bad I beg for salvation You wrote your own song Why'd you have to pretend Now moonchild cries again The hand that protects grips harder Wipe the tears from his eyes Moonchild's wings will pierce the sky Another fate raised for the slaughter A promise can break Only so many times The ties unfold And bleed out memories My mind was weak You lied when stars were read I trusted you Go burn in hell The gift of creation Is now embarrassed by you Why'd you have to pretend Now moonchild cries again The hand that protects grips harder Wipe the tears from his eyes Moonchild's wings will pierce the sky Another fate raised for the slaughter Slaughter slaughter Shame on your heart Why'd you have to pretend Now moonchild cries again The hand that protects grips harder Close your eyes go to sleep If you wake my heart will weep Moonchild in the end I hope she loves you
