Rocking Horse Night

Lyrics for Rocking Horse Night

Hold me as I slip away Into this coldness Hold me as I slip away Into these colours Hold me as I pay respect To broken spires Of dreadful night My flesh has been torn My eyes have seen clouds My nails have gripped the clay Of crawling black flowers Recalling dead sorrow Recalling black love You and I In pleasure parted You and I In sadness racked You and I In flowers falling You and I Invoke culling You and I In soulless searching You and I In heartfelt hurting You and I At our first bleeding You and I, You and I . . . This little childs death This bundle of cloth With prayer book precision On rocking horse night Casting the runes Odal, hail and thorn Hold me as I slip away Into this coldness Hold me as I slip away Into these colours Hold me as I pay respect To dreadful spires Of tired life.
