Matriarch by Black Crown Initiate Lyrics
[Verse]
Patriarchal generations
Litanies of guilt and shame
Walk the line of his creation
Carry on his ghastly name
[Bridge]
Mother asks her child why
The child did not let her die
On bed of tears the tired mother lies
Her son, a man undone inside
[Chorus]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
[Bridge]
Mother asks her child why
The child did not let her die
On bed of tears the tired mother lies
Her son, a man undone inside
[Verse]
Patriarchal generations
Litanies of guilt and shame
Walk the line of his creation
Carry on his ghastly name
[Chorus]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 2x]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
Patriarchal generations
Litanies of guilt and shame
Walk the line of his creation
Carry on his ghastly name
[Bridge]
Mother asks her child why
The child did not let her die
On bed of tears the tired mother lies
Her son, a man undone inside
[Chorus]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
[Bridge]
Mother asks her child why
The child did not let her die
On bed of tears the tired mother lies
Her son, a man undone inside
[Verse]
Patriarchal generations
Litanies of guilt and shame
Walk the line of his creation
Carry on his ghastly name
[Chorus]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 2x]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
