Hold Your Children Close and Pray for Oblivion

and I will show you death
This is what you wanted, this is what you need
Hold your children close and pray for oblivion!
As the world goes
The strong do what they can
And the weak suffer what they must
Shallow be thy graves
Dress them in exalted rags and bring them unto me
This is what you wanted, this is what you need
Hold your children close and pray for oblivion
As the world goes
The strong will do what they can
And the weak suffer what they must
Shallow be thy graves
There shall be the whole of the law
Stop crying that you’ve changed your mind, its you who invoked me
All that’s wrong is that I did all that you asked of me
Just because you’re blind, there is no excuse not to see
This is what you wanted, this is what you need
As the world goes
The strong will do what they can
And the weak suffer what they must
Shallow be thy graves
