作曲 : Gildenlöw
Mother, at my first breath
 Every paragraph was set
 As I inhaled the scent of debt
 Mother, that first stolen air
 On papers saying I'm not mine
 
 "We crown you, the King of Loss...
 Better get on your feet
 Best be one of us
 Better get yourself on the list
 For success
 Dress up as a State investment
 Charm the press
 A breed from the seed of only
 One short breath"
 
 Mother, hence we cry:
 Some of us are free to stand
 Most of us are bound to lie
 In those bloodstained beds
 No one can afford to pay
 The prices on their babies' heads
 
 I am the King of Loss!
 For every dear smile I feel I'm not one of us
 "An ivory coin for every plus on your stone"
 
 "One more governmental blade
 Now drawn from its sheath
 Quite a bargain I'd say since either way
 You will live by the show of our teeth!"
 
 Mother, I wish that we could talk
 You see
 I'm not fit to play this game
 Bound by its rules just the same
 My talents turned to talons
 Every monetary pile
 Will buy me a precious smile...
 smile...
 
 So smile for the King of Loss
 Feed from the juices
 Bleeding from this cross
 Then tell me our lives mean more
 Than this vain thirst!
 
 "A governmental blade
 Drawn from its private sheath
 Quite a bargain I'd say, since either way
 You'll be living by the show of our..."
 
 I hold up my head
 This was my life
 Now I'm with the dead
 So I lay my bare neck
 This is your call
 Dub a king or a wreck
 
 (Mother, listen to me mother)
 
 This was my life
 This is your call
 
 Is this all I am? Is this all I'll be?
 This is not enough!
 
 We're all crying for respect and attention
 We're all dying for a painless redemption!
 This is not what I wanted
 But for every drop of blood I lost myself
 I, too, lay bleeding on the sidewalk...
 
 Mother
 Long live the dying king
 
 "A governmental blade
 Now drawn from its private sheath
 Quite a bargain I'd say, since either way
 I will live by the show of your teeth..."
