Deadly Voices in Song

I can't sleep here
alone in fear.
I hear voices
voices coming from the dark.
They're not haunting ghosts,
but with all the noises,
you'd swear the most
out of it all.

I hear babies
innocent babies.
Their blood shed there,
dead on the floor.
Oh, my ladies.
Precious ladies,
why couldn't you think before?

You lied with him.
You tried again
to correct all you did.
But, there, he left
you wallowing in your sin.
And you didn't think then...

All of this happened
in just one night.
I heard you screaming through the fight.
You ask me why the melody
of this song
is so strong
to prove you wrong
and show the light.

I can't sleep here.
Alone with fear.
I hear voices
Deadly voices in song.
