Above I see lines of light Below I feel a cold floor of stone In front I see what seems a dream A dream delighting the dark And cutting my heart slowly For I see children bleeding
The children are shedding blood The children are bleeding screams Needles, hooks, and knives They have cut the children's chests They have cut the children's tummies Altogether they sing a lullaby of pain
The children drown in water Yet they would breathe again By the shock of the white coats They tell us it is our time to play Only for them to play with us We are no more than their toys
The children are shedding tears The children are bleeding fears Glass, metal, and stone They have become our cage They have become our home Alone we sing an elegy of pain
Our voices become more quiet As the days move forward We now only talk with hands Speaking with our own blood The glass walls turn red Our blood prints are new words
