blackened page şarkı sözü

old woman, your hands are thin, and i think as scarred as mine.
old woman, is this all a lark, or is it how you spend your time?
old woman, they tell me here what you do is called a crime.
old woman, your predictions aren´t worth a copper dime.
old woman, i hate too much, i must give it vent.
old woman, you are hiding here inside your tent.
old woman, how much more will i have to repent?
old woman, will i have left my mark when my days are spent?
old woman, it is only false joy you bring.
old woman, upon your hand i see a death´s-head ring.
old woman, it´s our winter, and we´ll never see a spring.
old woman, it´s time to cry, why must you still sing?
how can you have lived this long, and not give in to rage?
don´t you understand; we´ve both outlived our age?
there is no final curtain; this is not a stage.
can you read what´s written on this blackened page?
old woman, tell me when to hold the sand and when to let it spill.
old woman, tell me when the sun´s light will touch my window sill.
old woman, tell me if it´s me or those around me who are ill.
old woman, promise me that i will never have to kill.
