Ten Killer Fairies

She took his hand
Said apologies aren't necessary
You've been a faithful man
Love and honor will be your legacy

I'd like to fix my hair
Put on my pretty Sunday dress
Cook you breakfast
It's a shame to leave the house a mess

The baby's cryin'
I press his face into my breast and
Sing to him softly
This is for the best

It's hard to face the older children
Who know enough to understand
They soon will be delivered
Into our Saviors waiting hands

Ten Killer Fairies
Won't pull us apart
And I will hold you here forever baby
Yes I will
Here in my sacred heart

If the neighbors would just stop screamin'
And except this as their fate
The comforts in the dreamin'
Of the paradise that waits

So let's gather up the family
Let's cover up their eyes
This is only temporary
No need to say goodbye
No no

Ten Killer Fairies
Won't pull us apart
And I will hold you here forever baby
Yes I will
Here in my sacred heart

Out here in the courtyard
The reflection of the sun
Off of motionless sunglasses
And the barrels of the guns

I can hear the people laughin'
Down at the carnival
And I wonder if they'll remember
How we lined against this wall

With our dignity like soldiers
Forgiveness like the saints
To bring comfort to our children
With a silence like the martyrs
An example we've been made

And the Ten Killer Fairies
Won't pull us apart
And I will hold you here forever baby
Yes I will
Here in my sacred heart

Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed by thy name
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
Today
As it is today

Take my hand now baby
We'll look out to the sea
To the tuna boats and dolphins
And we'll taste the ocean breeze

And I will not start weepin'
Cause I promised I'd be strong
Just tell me that you love me
And hold me in your arms

And it's funny I remember
When I was a little girl
How easy came the laughter
At the wonders of the world

How one day I would marry
With a family of my own
But the times come now baby
To take my family home

And the Ten Killer Fairies
Hey
Won't pull us apart
And I will hold you here forever baby
Yes I will
Here in my sacred
Here in my sacred heart
