Ten Killer Fairies

She took his hand, said apologies are necessary

Been a faithful man, loving honor be your legacy

I'd like to fix my hair and put on my pretty Sunday dress

Cook you breakfast, it's a shame to leave the house a mess

And the baby's crying, I'll press his face into my breast

And sing to him softly that this is for the best

It's hard to face the older children

They're know enough to understand

They soon will be delivered into our savior's waiting hands

And the ten killer fairies won't pull us apart

And I will hold you here forever baby yes I will

Here in my sacred heart

If the neighbors would just stop

Screaming and accept this as their fate

Well the comforts in the dreaming of the paradise that waits

So let's gather up the family and let's cover up their eyes

This is only temporary, no need to say goodbye

And the ten killer fairies won't pull us apart

And I will hold you here forever baby yes I will

Here in my sacred heart

Out here in the courtyard, the reflection of the sun

Off emotionless sunglasses and the barrels of their guns

Well I can hear the people laughing down at the carnival

And I wonder if they'll remember how we lined against this wall

With our dignity like soldiers and forgiveness like the saints

Giving comfort to our children with a silence like the martyrs

An example we've been made

And the ten killer fairies won't pull us apart

And I will hold you here forever baby yes I will

Here in my sacred heart

Now our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done today as it is today

Take my hand now baby, we'll look out to the sea

To the tuna boats and dolphins and we'll taste the ocean breeze

And I will not start weeping 'cause I promised I'd be strong

Just tell me that you love me and hold me in your arms

And it's funny I remember when I was a little girl

How easy came the laughter at the wonders of the world

And how one day I would marry with a family of my own
