[Verse]
Patriarchal generations
Litanies of guilt and shame
Walk the line of his creation
Carry on his ghastly name
[Bridge]
Mother asks her child why
The child did not let her die
On bed of tears the tired mother lies
Her son, a man undone inside
[Chorus]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
[Bridge]
Mother asks her child why
The child did not let her die
On bed of tears the tired mother lies
Her son, a man undone inside
[Verse]
Patriarchal generations
Litanies of guilt and shame
Walk the line of his creation
Carry on his ghastly name
[Chorus]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 2x]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
