The Lamb Returns Songtext
von Echorec

The world throws the seed
The waves carried by wind
A whisper catches the sail
God send
Mother nature takes hold
Leaving her home evermore
The child bearer will be
Carried to shore

Father I
Father I feel torn
Torn in two

The good father
Writhe in haste
The misty mountain top reflects
Still in the lake
And like a forgotten fledgling
Yearns the sky
Trampled on by merry men
Who never had to fly


The kill vultures near
The weakest cower in fear

We the fallen shepherds
Lead our flock astray
The lambs we lead to slaughter
Never see the light of day
And high upon the altar
We offer this beast
The children will go hungry
So the gods can have their feast

Unable to resist the taste
The forbidden fruit turns to waste

Approaching the water′s edge
Her face reflected there
So purged
A knife she takes and cuts off her hair
As much as she can


I find you here at last
With him, alas
Beneath our past
You just think of yourself
I waited here for years
A lifetime ago
She journeyed here
How could I know?

Long ago, just after your birth
Your father and I made a family of four
Your brother so young loved this new baby girl
You slept in your cradles to the sounds of the shore
The sun rose high and warm in the sky
We woke to a silence we hadn't felt before
Running to the room where our babies had slept
Your brother lay silent, we held him tight and wept

Oh, I know I′m wrong
Oh, my nightmares all came true

Oh, my darling never knew
We tried to hide it from you
But here we stand at last
A family of outcasts
Rejoined for all our past
