Cut the rope
Before I pull you under
Don’t follow me
I won’t return to kiss you goodnight
I won’t return to hold you tight
So do as I say
Stay in the cave & don’t come out until I howl
Then you need to run & don’t look back
Not even when I whimper
Not when I beg for my life
I won’t survive
I’ll be dripping of tar
I’ll be hung by my feet
I’ll be hung & forced to watch them **** our family
So do as I say
You must be swift, don’t step on the screaming branches
The falling snow will protect you
Don’t make a sound & don’t you cry
Just run as I distract them darling
I’ll bite them until I’m bleeding
Their weapons will be laughing
But I won’t breathe my last breath until I know you're safe
So don’t look back
Not even when I whimper
Not when I beg for my life
I won’t survive
Just do as I say
Run far deep into the forest to our brethren in the north
Don’t come back, never come back
I’ll be long gone
I’ll be nothing more than a sweater, a nice coat
Keeping someone else warm
But you, you my darling
You will be safe in the warmth of the North
Summer will come & you will be grown
You will have a new family & one day
You might forgive me & understand why I
Cut the rope
