mamma, she cries murder

sister, she cries fear

brother, he cries anger

but darling, I cry tears



let her live but let him die and his blood will wash away her eyes

she deserves to see what life would be like without his hands

lifting feathers from her back



well I'd sure hate to see you alone

what would I do without you

I'd sure hate to lose you, now that you've gone away



mamma, she cries rape

brother thinks it's too late

sister says she's dead

and darling I need strength



they want love

they want love

they want love

they want love

all I need is strength

and when I'm weak

who do I have to thank
