Lyrics for The Whispering Boys

The whispering boys will not go away The whispering boys have nothing to say But they scream and they cry And they run and they hide from their bodies The whispering boys have answered the call The whispering boys surrender their all To the blame and the blood of an albino dove Made of love The whispering boys are perfect and pure The whispering boys are sacred and sure And sometimes they are known To take children whose homes are unknown The whispering boys, they stay out of sight The whispering boys, they meet late at night But they bond to their fate And they're saved, when they self mutilate
