Rag Child

I didn't know all the load I could carry

'Til 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 verse

Child in red, spilled her blood

Know the words to bring the flood

Child in white, walk with death

Gonna sing until you love yourself

Child in white, walk with death

Gonna sing until you love yourself

I didn't know all the joy I could levy

'Til I rose to my feet in the merciful sun

And the voice in my head said, "Somеday you'll be buried

You'll return to thе 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

'Til 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"
