The Crooked, the Cradle

There's blood in the water
There's blood in the water
The quiet are restless
The silent are still

I'm nobody's daughter
I'm nobody's daughter
My enemies crow
"We're alone with the kill"

If mercy's abound
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know of the love
I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend
My season won't end
But I pray, when it's done, when it's through
I'll have something left for you

The noble are weary
The noble are weary
This cradle still burns
Like a hole in my chest

Can anyone hear me?
Can anyone hear me?
The crooked are smiling
They know me the best

If mercy's abound
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know of the love
I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend
My season won't end
But I pray, when it's done, when it's through
I'll have something left for you

If mercy's abound
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know of the love
I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend
My season won't end
But I pray, when it's done, when it's through
I'll have something left for you
