otep – requiem lyrics
o’great fanged mother
i call upon thee
arise . with vengeance
& a voice of blasphemy
[bring out your dead]
touch, taste, feel …
no, don’t do it. stop.
[i’m sorry, no, i can’t, please, can you hear me? help me.]
that’s impossible. that’s impossible. stop listening!
“as long as you’re under my roof, you will respect me”
[help me, stop them … before i do]
“as long as you’re under my roof, you will respect me!”
the only truth is suffering.
the only truth is suffering.
“& it’s ok to hate yourself, just lay still, don’t cry for help”
… every time he comes, you disappear.
no. no. no.
run. anywhere you can.
it’s coming. the suffering is here.
“i’m sick but i need my disease”
[no one is safe, no where is safe]
“i’m sorry. it was a mistake. someone let me out of here.”
please, let me out of here. go away, go away, go away.
[ghost child sings]
… surrender is your only hope.
