Rag Child

(album: The Returner - 2023)

I didn't know all the load I could carry
Till I sank to my knees in the merciless sun
Yeah the voice in my head said someday your burden
Will be taken from you but today's not the one

Child in rags
Three times cursed
Gonna teach you the forgotten verses

Child in red
Spilled her blood
Know the words to bring the flood

The child in white
Walk with death
Gonna sing until you love yourself

The child in white
Walk with death
Gonna sing until you love yourself

I didn't know all the joy I could levy
Till I rose to my feet in the merciful sun
And the voice in my head said someday you'll be buried
You'll return to the stars but today's not the one

Child in black
Three times blessed
Gonna lead us from the Shadowlands

Child in green
Know her worth
Write the world, a holy book

Child in gold
Story bound
Speak until the lost are found

Child in white
Walk with death
Gonna sing until you love yourself

I didn't know all the joy I could levy
Till I rose to my feet in the merciful sun
And the voice in my head said someday you'll be buried
You'll return to the stars but today's not the one
