That night, I lay awake
Thinking odd little things
I dreamt about butterflies
Ripping off their wings

I remember you came
Through the window
With a soothing voice
And a demon in your shadow

You said things would be okay
That didn't matter much

Kauket
Goddess of mercy
Come give me love
Come to sedate me
Please don't go
And leave me as dead
Make me fall to your shadow
To your darkness ahead

I can't lie about that night
Not about the captain's life
I saw him kill himself;
And his ghost killed his wife

You told me not to speak of it
The blood is just red paper
But with her angel looking down
What could you say to her?

You said things would be okay
But no, that didn't matter much

Kauket
Goddess of mercy
Come give me love
Come to sedate me
Please don't go
And leave me as dead
Make me fall to your shadow
To your darkness ahead

And now, the sky is bleak
I walk with a million crows
Upon the River Styx in Greece
When blood comes when it snows

Faeries dance in red snowflakes
They don't care for you
You're stuck in pillows and bonds
Not thinking things through

You said things would be okay
That didn't matter much

Kauket
Goddess of mercy
Come give me love
Come to sedate me
Please don't go
And leave me as dead
Make me fall to your shadow
To your darkness ahead

Kauket
Goddess of mercy
Come give me love
Come to sedate me
Give me comfort
And take me away
Give me the keys
To an ebony day

Kauket
Goddess of mercy
Come give me love
Come to sedate me

Come to sedate me...
