Dead to the world

All the same take me away.
We’re dead to the world.

The Child gave thought to the poet’s words
gave comfort to the fallen (heartfelt, lovelorn)
Remaining, yet still uninvited
Those words scented my soul (lonely soul, Ocean soul)

It’s not the monsters under your bed
It is the man next door
That makes you fear,makes you cry,
makes you cry for the child.
All the wars are fought among those lonely men.
Unarmed, unscarred.

I don’t want to die a scarless man
A lonely soul (tell me now what to do)
I studied silence to learn the music.
I joined the sinful to regain innocence.

Heaven queen, cover me. In all that blue.
Little boy, such precious joy. Is dead to the world.
Heaven queen, carry me. Away from all pain.
All the same take me away. We’re dead to the world.

Dead, silent, and constant, yet always changing
My favourite view of this world.

As he died he will return to die in me again.
Weaving the cloth, giving birth to the Century Child.
Who gave his life not for the world but for me
Innocence reborn once more.

Heaven queen, carry me. Away from all pain.
All the same take me away. We’re dead to the world.
Heaven queen, cover me. In all that blue.
Little boy, such precious joy. Is dead to the world.
Heaven queen, carry me. Away from all pain.
All the same take me away. We’re dead to the world
