Nearer my God to thee I sing
I've got to tell someone what is happening
This hole in my heart is getting bigger by the hour
And I can't find the cure
In the stems or the petals of this poisonous flower
They keep trying to shove down my throat
Oh, oh

My soul, why they put you here?
If you weren't supposed to make a sound
Your love lies quietly, the shroud
Where weapons fire underground
And do their killing silently
Violently, ooh

There was a child born beneath the trees
She was born to be free
With Jupiter rising in God's new horizon
She runs through the night
Gathering stars and light, singing
Oh, oh

My soul, why they put you here?
If you weren't supposed to make a sound
Your love lies dying in the shroud
Where weapons fire underground
And do their killing silently
Violently, ooh

I said I would do
I said I would do
Anything for you
