Where Their Children Play Lyrics - Holy Mother

Seven years ago 

This old man said to me 

Sittin' on his haunches 

He's tellin' me to get a life 

Now, money in a jar 

Never got him far 

But his story is heavier 

Than you'll ever know 

He said "live for me and die for me 

And my miracles will set you free" 

But I said no 

I don't play that devils lie 

Yea...set a road in the garden 

Pulled the sword from the stone 

And the water you're walkin' on 

Has got me thinkin' 

I've been all wrong 

And I've been readin' the story 

While I'm wastin' the years 

And I've been runnin' with some bad brothers 

That've been tryin' to rip my bloody tears 

The stage was black 

Lights we feared 

Your limbs like a puppet 

?These are scars of the years 

It's a sexual feeling 

It's the root that stresses your brain 

Livin' on the threshold of evil 

And you're tryin' to trip on morphine 

On the corner of Phoenix 

On the cross of gold bridge 

Tryin' to change your life for the better 

Gotta cross the bridge 

I gotta cross the bridge 

The stage was black 

Lights we feared 

Your limbs like a puppet 

These are scars of the years 

Tied in ropes to keep you home 

Building walls to keep you away 

cables connect 

There's nails to mend 

But what mends the heart 

Where their children play 

Set a road in the garden 

Pulled the sword from the stone 

And the water you're walkin' on 

Has got me thinkin' I've been 

Got me thinking' I've been 

The stage was black 

Lights we feared 

Your limbs like a puppet 

These are scars of the years 

Tied in ropes to keep you home 

Building walls to keep you away 

Cables connect 

There's nails to mend 

But what mends the heart 

Where their children play 

Tied in ropes to keep you home 

Building walls to keep you away 

Caables connect 

There's nails to mend 

But what mends the heart 

Where their children play
