《Blessed Burden》歌词

[00:00:00] March

[00:00:00] 1945 unwanted from his first breath

[00:00:01] A mother's blessing born a father's burden worn

[00:00:08] The bright shine of the sunrise along the tile floor to the open door

[00:00:20] With blood on the streets she lay on the mattress

[00:00:24] Staring aimlessly

[00:00:25] Numb dark and decayed

[00:00:27] On the bathroom floor of their rundown apartment

[00:00:32] Scraping fingers on tile just to feel something

[00:00:35] Unwanted by a bastard father

[00:00:43] Unwanted but through the hazel eyes of his mother

[00:00:52] She's praying for god to save her

[00:00:58] Please save me but when she needs him most he doesn't answer

[00:01:05] Another rosary another unanswered plea

[00:01:07] Please take us away please let us be safe

[00:01:14] Let everyone that sees me forget my face

[00:01:22] But all she gets is the drunk with his fists and that old devil look in his eye

[00:01:30] Him and Jack that gambling debt that old devil look in his eye

[00:01:37] And without warning he raises his hand to her and says

[00:01:53] Your god can't hear you not down here

[00:02:06] No one will save you because no one cares

[00:02:41] And with her newborn boy they would cry until the early morning light

[00:02:49] It was the first of many many sleepless nights
