mamma, she cries murder sister, she cries fear
brother, he cries anger but darling, I cry tears
let her live but let him die and his blood will
wash away her eyes she deserves to see what life
would be like without his hands lifting feathers
from her back well I'd sure hate to see you alone
what would I do without you I'd sure hate to lose
you, now that you've gone away mamma, she cries
rape brother thinks it's too late sister says
she's dead and darling I need strength they want
love they want love they want love they want love
all I need is strength and when I'm weak who do I
have to thank?
