Still Life from Borderland EP by Jon Dean

The blood is frozen on the blade
She stands unmoving in the shade
Waiting for someone to take her away
From the pain she has made

The blood is congealed on his shirt
His hands still buried in the dirt
He didn’t know or just didn’t care
How she’d been hurt

Oh mother, oh mother what have you done?
Oh mother, oh mother what have you done?

Mist rises slowly from the lake
Her eyes rest languid on the snake
The crows wait silently for their meal
And her heart begins to break

Oh mother, oh mother what have you done?
Oh mother, oh mother what have you done?

Thus was it ever, thus will it be
The river will always find the sea
The silence is broken, a triumphant cry
A tear forms in his unseeing eye
And she will not be free

Oh mother, oh mother what have you done?
Oh mother, oh mother
Oh mother, oh mother what have you done?
