Guillotine

I was so young and my life was ruined forever It only took one day to meet my executioner Scaffold, funeral frames Death knell tolls in darkness Moon reflection on the red stains Come Lady Justice in your blind fairness Picking wild orchids With my sister on a Pentecost afternoon Comes a friendly man The devil on his back Gotta have his black dog back Unhanding wild orchids With my sister disappearing in the distance Comes the fear of loss We are nothing but kids Blooms with no more fragrance Guillotine! Scaffold, funeral frames Death knell tolls in darkness Moon reflection on the red stains Come Lady Justice in your blind fairness They say they found my sister Hurt with a knife and stone A little lifeless body I understand when I hear my father scream! Cry! My life was stopped at the age of six Silent loneliness Why my sister and not me? Silent loneliness If only I'd taken her place Silent loneliness I am devoured by the guilt Silent loneliness Of not being able to save her Silent loneliness Under my father's accusing eyes Silent loneliness Had to justify myself all my life Silent loneliness This past is present every night Silent loneliness Scaffold, funeral frames Death knell tolls in darkness Moon reflection on the red stains Come Lady Justice in your blind fairness Disconnected from the rest of the world We guillotine! Murder is a two-sided coin Disaster and solution Fates weave above the scale of justice Guillotine a monster, to become a monster It's less painful to carry out injustice than to endure it
