lyrics

quiet
it's oh so quiet in this room
where there used to be some beds by the bookshelves
patient
patiently waiting for someone to open up a rusty door to a memory
there lying down beneath the earth
their tiny hands reach out to you

show me devotion
show me this world is not the end
show me your faith
show me that sin is no more shallow than a grave

magdalene
well they took you in with open arms
magdelene
when you left you were not whole

riot
there's been a riot in your head
where there once used to be some hope of a future
absent
absently waiting for the end of the hypocrisy of them
but there's no ending
and while you're waiting for the truth
their tiny hands reach out for you

the children in the tanks
a crowd of empty hands
and you - alone through it all
how could it be that love could turn into such pain,
and what they gave you there they dare call mercy?
you never wanted it to start
you only wanted to reach out your palms
hold the present in your hands
instead your clinging to an empty past
