Mother Styx by The Citrus Trees Lyrics
They stole my identity
I spent an eternity
Trying in vain
To get back my brain
Stare into a wishing well
See the memories, and hopes
That fell
Into webs
Oh, Mother Styx
Your River flows
Into their minds
You took their lives
Liberties and bounds you stepped
You watched the children as they slept
And drowned them
In unholy waters
Mother Lethe let them forget
Absolve their sins and their regrets
Dip them in your flesh
Baptize the moth
Bones quake inside the Earth
My body shakes from in the hearth
You traveled on foot
Across the world
And you found nothing
Nothing
At all
At all
Oh, Mother Styx
Your River flows
Into their minds
You took their lives
You took their lives
You took their lives
You took their lives
For your collection
[Instrumental]
Oh, Mother Styx
Your River flows
Into my mind
You took our lives
You took our lives
You took our lives
For your collection
You took our lives
I spent an eternity
Trying in vain
To get back my brain
Stare into a wishing well
See the memories, and hopes
That fell
Into webs
Oh, Mother Styx
Your River flows
Into their minds
You took their lives
Liberties and bounds you stepped
You watched the children as they slept
And drowned them
In unholy waters
Mother Lethe let them forget
Absolve their sins and their regrets
Dip them in your flesh
Baptize the moth
Bones quake inside the Earth
My body shakes from in the hearth
You traveled on foot
Across the world
And you found nothing
Nothing
At all
At all
Oh, Mother Styx
Your River flows
Into their minds
You took their lives
You took their lives
You took their lives
You took their lives
For your collection
[Instrumental]
Oh, Mother Styx
Your River flows
Into my mind
You took our lives
You took our lives
You took our lives
For your collection
You took our lives
