I came upon a butcher
he was slaughtering a lamb
I accused him there
with his tortured lamb
He said, "Listen to me, child
I am what I am and you, you are my only son."

Well, I found a silver needle
I put it into my arm
It did some good
did some harm
But the nights were cold
and it almost kept me warm
How come the night is long?

I saw some flowers growing up
where that lamb fell down
was I supposed to praise my Lord
make some kind of joyful sound?
He said, "Listen, listen to me now
I go round and round
and you, you are my only child."

Do not leave me now
do not leave me now
I'm broken down
from a recent fall
Blood upon my body
and ice upon my soul
lead on, my son, it is your world
