Oh, blinded, now I see

That I could not hold you

My orange tree

Left in the darkened room for three of us to share

Oh, maybe you were free

Before my blackened wing covered you

I took the sing from your song

I made a bed

Where you don't belong

Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up

Black sea, I failed to be a light you found in love

Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up

Black sea, the monster killed the melody you loved

Now I'm going places on my own

Blinded, now I see

That death moves amongst us

And with such ease the rife does surround us

These silent beasts are hard to bear

Lonely, oh, no not me

I have a grave to dig, fast moving feet

You gave me light

Where it once was gone

I made a bed

Where you don't belong

Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up

Black sea, I failed to be the light you found in love

Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up

Black sea, the monster killed the melody you loved

Now I'm going places on my own
