Текст пісні
Come to me mother and gather what's left
The sky has turned black, there's no hope left to fetch
The only light that I've seen has been torn to shreds
I'm gonna tear out my eyes 'cause I can see what's ahead
For years I have struggled, for years I have tried
To wrench from this dirt what we need to get by
But the sun has been taken, the well has run dry
And I'm too scared to live and I'm too tired to die
So I fell to my knees and I asked the Lord why
Why'd you take half my family and throw mud in my sky?
And when the Lord answered me I was alone
The only thing left was ashes and bones
So come to me mother and gather what's left
Put out the candles, put the babies to rest
'Cause it's sleep for dinner, that's all they ever get fed
I'm gonna tear out my eyes 'cause I can see what's ahead
Gonna tear out my eyes 'cause I can see what's ahead
