Chalice - Child Of The Mantador lyrics

Thirteen years

Inside your play

To rise one day

And find you dead

The world had fled

With much unsaid

My last paternal kiss

Thirteen years

I missed your touch

I missed so much

A life unfurled

That hand you held

That child you hurled

Against a razor fence

In mine eyes such hate did shine

Devoid of knowledge, ill-defined

Nurtured in protective lies

There is no conquest in demise

Nineteen years

Outside your play

I broke that day

And rose to feel

The distance heal

Drift now in peace

My last paternal kiss

A life unfurled

That hand you held

That child you hurled

Against a razor fence
