lyrics

the wind is calling me back to the lake
and the night is hailing all hearts there to break
and the holidays grind on the tender with pain
oh fall back to earth and be merry again
the land of my mother oh life in a cage
the father and brothers dance high on the stage
and the women they twist in the shadows with rage
oh fall back to earth and be fondled again
she left in the morning a girl heading west
before the madness swelled high in her chest
before tormented figures with voices did rise
oh come back to earth and be buried alive
a slow tide of murder when she did return
the instruments wire and prod set to burn
the nightmare persisted the memory not slain
oh come back to earth and be buried again
the dawn of disorder a witch at the stake
sinking or swimming a choice there to make
the pricks scoured her body for the enemies mark
oh fall back to earth alone in the dark
I am hunting these figures burning through time
invisible vessels glowing sublime
bringing light in to shadow where darkness does shine
oh fall back to earth for the very last time
