Lyrics

green eyed what’s betided here we heard you crying out
weeping wailing
wrists worn red has someone held you down
and I can hear the changing sound
sister be still
while we’re here no one can hurt you now

we have searched till you were found
in the temple nearly drowned

grey eyed angered by your shape misplaced you were devout
serpents sprouting as your form lay tangled on the ground
and I can hear the changing sound
sister you may fret and fear but we are with you now

all the waves that held you down
in the temple nearly drowned

throw my beauty to the gorgon
scale my skin and twist my organs
oceans came to dark my door and salt my sister in the temple floor
now you send this child to take her
sword and shield meant to erase her
loathing left us cold and ageless
a fate to share with those who gaze us

stone eyed all that’s left of you the sight who sought you out
weeping wailing even ears of stone will hear us now
and I can hear the changing sound
