"Can we just lie here for a moment? She knows what
to do and it's so much easier to make out the words
if you press your ear against the stone."
He hated this place. But she promised it would
be the last time. And it had started to snow.
It would hopefully slow the others down.
They needed to leave. He was too scared to look
at his watch and now he was struck by how beautiful
she looked in this light. That pink light, reflecting
from the tears frozen on her face.
He pulled her gently up from her mother's grave.
Lyrics:
mother they are coming again
they come to shoot what we already lost
mother they are coming again
our silver covered by their rust
father they are coming again
they come to jail the things that i have seen
father they are coming again
burning minds to keep the ruin clean
no one is around
„little girl there’s safer ground
follow the sea and you will find that place
little girl there’s safer ground
come take your years and put them in their hands“
She didn't say anything. Why wasn't she saying anything?
But she had. She just couldn't hear her. She had always
heard her through her heart, and now it was frozen
to her cheeks.
He lifted her up as her chest was caving in. He sang
instead. The words she had taught him when they met,
years before.
The ones she had heard from her mother's friend. Before
they never saw him again.
"Little girl, there's safer ground..."
That ground. Rising up out of the sea of him.
