So now this is the beginning, dear
Have you come to start a fight
Oh you say you won't, but you know you might
Push the living off and say:

Oh mother please
They have no need
For your boy

I've been bitten by disease, my dear
The hurt has come within my heart
Should you say you know i might fall apart
So come darkness, shroud your end

Oh mother please
They have no need
For your boy
