Lyrics
The Witness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your eyes shine wet in the dark
And I'm
Murderous.
The southern wind fills this mast and
Takes this cargo safely to
A nowhere town
To make nothing of them
They make me watch you and ask
I am
Murderous.
The ocean chews at the earth
Will they pull you down under crashing waves
And violent sea?
I'd make a story for you:
Murder.
You'll find ways
Of dragging seconds out
Into days.
Don't let it come to that
You heard:
Don't let it come to that
3 faces that whisper at me:
"Murderess murderess"
So where is Death when I ask to be
Over you?
Please ask him
Please ask him to
Bear you out down in steady hands
With no requiem.
What would I say?
Murder
You'll ask for home
Till every little echo of her is
Thin and worn.
I only wait here
And Say: "it is so".
Say: "it is so".
