Enola’s Wake Lyrics by Kevin Heider

The Spark (Part I)

0

Her passing was quick and quite a surprise
To everyone under the sun
As the devil’s a catchy tune in disguise
The virtue of progress was won
Enola’s wake left everyone dead
It’s only a matter of time
I never believed a word that she said
I knew that we wouldn’t be fine
And yet, here I have been called on to speak
To give such a woman a toast
The words of my heart bear the truth that I seek
And I long to speak them the most
So sleep, Enola
Sleep and don’t ever wake up
I’m sad to have known ya
And the death that your life was made of
She was a strong bird and, oh, could she fly
Steady and swift and true
When she married that Fat Man I turned a blind eye
I shuddered when she said “I do”
The light that she brought us was no light at all
And I say that in full confidence
Are we to reap what her Little Boy sowed
When he stole our innocence?
Her family will live on long after her passing
They’ll grow bigger and stronger than she
So pull out your rosaries and lift up your glasses
And pray hard and sing out with me
Sing sleep, Enola
Sleep and don’t ever wake up
I’m sad to have known ya
And the death that your life was made of
Oh, sleep, Enola
Sleep and don’t ever wake up
I’m sad to have known ya
And the death that your life was made of
Her passing was rough as she screamed in her bed
And I prayed that our souls would be fine
‘Cause Enola’s wake left everyone dead
It’s only a matter of time
