 Little birds born without a mother or a father
 I can watch their bodies forming in the running water
 Now there is another in the middle of my mouth
 100 all together within me now
 Little bird little bird come into my body
 
 Mother they're within me every moment I'm awaking
 Bodies multiplying till they finally overtake me
 Open up my mouth but all you'll ever hear is singing
 Put your hands within me and you'll know what I am feeling
 I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them
 
 Daddy come to touch me but he seen his hands are shaking
 Look into my eyes and he can see their bodies breaking
 Push me to the floor and then his hands started beating
 I don't want to hear it anymore he kept repeating
 Do you really want the burning hell that we believe in?
 
 Do you know the burning hell it took your baby brother?
 Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer?
 Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover
 And deep in sin they held each other.
 So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in
 Knowing god in heaven would've never could forgive him
 So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains in.
 
 Little boy born without a father or a mother
 Taken to the river and then pushed into the water
 Now the priest is singing that the hell is getting hotter
 Father son and holy ghost the only one to save him
 From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him
 Father son and holy ghost the only one to save him
 From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him
 
 And here beneath the water I can see how the lights distort so strange
 And I think this is how I would like to leave my body and start again. 
Little birds born without a mother or a father
I can watch their bodies forming in the running water
Now there is another in the middle of my mouth
100 all together within me now
Little bird little bird come into my body
Mother they' re within me every moment I' m awaking
Bodies multiplying till they finally overtake me
Open up my mouth but all you' ll ever hear is singing
Put your hands within me and you' ll know what I am feeling
I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them
Daddy come to touch me but he seen his hands are shaking
Look into my eyes and he can see their bodies breaking
Push me to the floor and then his hands started beating
I don' t want to hear it anymore he kept repeating
Do you really want the burning hell that we believe in?
Do you know the burning hell it took your baby brother?
Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer?
Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover
And deep in sin they held each other.
So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in
Knowing god in heaven would' ve never could forgive him
So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains in.
Little boy born without a father or a mother
Taken to the river and then pushed into the water
Now the priest is singing that the hell is getting hotter
Father son and holy ghost the only one to save him
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him
Father son and holy ghost the only one to save him
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him
And here beneath the water I can see how the lights distort so strange
And I think this is how I would like to leave my body and start again.
