Hey Papa
Hey mama,
the sun is out,
can I play?
Yes my child,
yes my child,
but do not leave the path today.
Why mama,
why papa,
the trees are my friends,
as
is the shade.
The wolves have come
down from the hills,
they're hungry and
they'll have their way.
Oh papa,
oh mama,
it is of you I am afraid.
The hunter and
the hunter's bride, your teeth as sharp
as razor blades.
The heart of the child
and the heart of the universe, the golden love.
Never innocent,
nor completely painless.
The wolves came down,
they caught me, killed me, they gave me strength
to run and chase.
Oh papa,
oh mama,
I have come
to break your blades.
Curse you child,
curse you child, we
should have killed you as a babe.
Yes mama,
yes papa,
you had your chance,
now it's too late.
Yes papa,
yes mama,
the wolves will howl and dance today.
How
many generous,
warm springs,
but never innocent,
nor completely painless.
