| Your Bloody Hands -- edited The air is dense the night is dark There is neither moon nor cloud Just black of sky and black of field And a heavy precipitous shroud The carriage whispers; the wheels moan Hooves beat with my heart Marking time with Sorrow As they pull along my cart All too soon the horse stops And a man unlocks my door He pulls me roughly by the foot And drags me to the floor My voice is mute, my hands are numb The atmosphere chokes my cries Your hands... how red they are with blood Of each innocent that dies My wooden casement vibrates As it falls limp to the ground I am dragged, silent, to my bed Never to be found |
