Castle Song

Who are you, waiting
Waiting at the gates of my city?
Who are you, waiting
Blood streams from the nails on your fingers?

Who are you, pleading?
Pleading into the walls unyielding
Who are you, scratching
At the mortar, splashed and crimson?

And you are on the outside
And I am on the inside and
And I won't let you in
Yes, you are on the outside
And I am on the inside and
And I won't let you in

Who are you people
In the damp of the misty morning?
Who are you people
Who disturb my hours of sleeping?

Who are you, children
On your father's shoulders, yawning?
Who are you, children
You who rise above the clamor?

And you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!
Yes, you are on the outside
And I am on the inside
And I won't let you in!

Where are you hiding
As I rise this lonely morning?
Why are you silent
When I gaze from my chamber window?

Why are you hiding?
Did you die as I lay sleeping?
All of you people
Thank you for your gift
Now let me rest!
