Hold Your Children Close and Pray for Oblivion

And I will show you death

This is what you wanted this is what you need

Hold your children close and pray for oblivion

As the world goes

The strong do what they can

And the weak suffer what they must

Shallow be thy graves

Dress them in exalted rags and bring them unto me

This is what you wanted this is what you need

Hold your children close and pray for oblivion

As the world goes

The strong will do what they can

And the weak suffer what they must

Shallow be thy graves

There shall be the whole of the law

Stop crying that you've changed your mind its you who invoked me

All that's wrong is that I did all that you asked of me

Just because you're blind there is no excuse not to see

This is what you wanted this is what you need

As the world goes

The strong will do what they can

And the weak suffer what they must

Shallow be thy graves
