Cradle Lyrics by Christina Blust

Sudden Amaryllis

2009

[Verse 1]
The libraries of Mesopotamia burn
So does the body of a country
Infinite, wordless ashes
We grind under our feet
[Chorus]
Basrah, cradle me
Fallujah, cradle me
Baghdad, cradle me, cradle me
[Verse 2]
Ink bleeding, the Tigris runs black
Confidently, march our minds to darkness
Oh, Wisdom, forgive us our intrusion
As we gleefully tear down your house
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Cradle me, cradle me
Cradle me, cradle me
Cradle me, cradle me
Cradle me, cradle me
Cradle me, cradle me
Cradle me, cradle me
Cradle me, cradle me
Cradle me
[Outro]
