Iron Cross
That thing you carried
Must have been heavy
And hard to move
Like an anvil in your arms
As you faithfully
Went from
Room to room
How did you bury
All the angst and rage
With a kiss good-bye
For every single day
You were hammered
Through fire
You were forged
In the rain
Made to hold up the sky
Born with lead in your shoes
Revering that weight
Like some stone faced god
You were devoted to
How did you bury
All the angst and rage
With a kiss good-bye
For every single day
You were hammered
Through fire
You were forged
In the rain
You carried an Iron
An Iron Cross
Like a sister
You carried
An Iron
An Iron
Cross
Then I saw you
Scatter
Flowers
To the song
Of a woodland tambourine
And with the sun on
Your face
I saw you
Turn to the wind
And scream
And then you walked away
Away
Walked away
Walking with the weight
Of a willow
Kneeling down
Bent in two
Drinking of the dirt
Laden with the heart of
A dead star
Left to cool
How did you bury
All the angst and rage
With a kiss good-bye
For every single day
You were hammered
Through fire
You were forged
In the rain
You carried an Iron
An Iron Cross
Like a sister
You carried
An Iron
An Iron
Cross
Then I saw you
Scatter
Flowers
To the song
Of a woodland tambourine
And with the sun on
Your face
I saw you
Turn to the wind
And scream
And then you walked away
Away
Walked away
Walked Away
Must have been heavy
And hard to move
Like an anvil in your arms
As you faithfully
Went from
Room to room
How did you bury
All the angst and rage
With a kiss good-bye
For every single day
You were hammered
Through fire
You were forged
In the rain
Made to hold up the sky
Born with lead in your shoes
Revering that weight
Like some stone faced god
You were devoted to
How did you bury
All the angst and rage
With a kiss good-bye
For every single day
You were hammered
Through fire
You were forged
In the rain
You carried an Iron
An Iron Cross
Like a sister
You carried
An Iron
An Iron
Cross
Then I saw you
Scatter
Flowers
To the song
Of a woodland tambourine
And with the sun on
Your face
I saw you
Turn to the wind
And scream
And then you walked away
Away
Walked away
Walking with the weight
Of a willow
Kneeling down
Bent in two
Drinking of the dirt
Laden with the heart of
A dead star
Left to cool
How did you bury
All the angst and rage
With a kiss good-bye
For every single day
You were hammered
Through fire
You were forged
In the rain
You carried an Iron
An Iron Cross
Like a sister
You carried
An Iron
An Iron
Cross
Then I saw you
Scatter
Flowers
To the song
Of a woodland tambourine
And with the sun on
Your face
I saw you
Turn to the wind
And scream
And then you walked away
Away
Walked away
Walked Away
