Little Birds

Little birds born without a mother or a father <br>I can watch their bodies forming in the running water <br>Now there is another in the middle of my mouth <br>A hundred altogether within me now <br>Little bird, little bird come into my body <br><br>Mother, they`re within me every moment I`m awaking <br>Bodies multiplying until they finally overtake me <br>Open up my mouth but all you`ll ever hear is singing <br>Put you hand within me and you`ll know what I`m feeling <br>I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them <br><br>Daddy come to touch me but he seen his hands are shaking <br>Look into my eyes and he could see their bodies breaking <br>Push me to the floor and in his hands I started beating <br>"I don`t want to hear it anymore", he kept repeating <br>Do you really want the burning hell that we believe in? <br><br>Did you know the burning hell it took your baby brother? <br>Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer? <br>Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover <br>And deep in sin they held each other <br>So I took a hammer and nearly beat his little brains in <br>Knowing God in heaven could have, never could forgive him <br>So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains in <br><br>Little boy born without a father of a mother <br>Taken to the river and then pushed into the water <br>And the priests are singing that the hell is getting hotter <br>Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him <br>From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him <br>Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him <br>From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him <br><br>And here beneath the water I can see <br>How the lights distort so strange <br>And I think this is how I would like to leave my body <br>And start again
