Respite Lyrics by Zac Woolley

The Hate

2023

In a [?] of the city
Darted out of the door
Did a woman in tears
With a baby wrapped up in her arms
Said, “won’t someone help me be relieved of my fears?”
At once I came forward, surprising myself
And I said that I’d do all I could
To which she replied, “there are spirits inside”
So she gave a candle and led me inwards

Was a grand marble staircase with ornate design
And a ceiling complete with the [?]
On the great white walls hung portraits and paintings
A grandiose casе of a home
In each room pages of [?]
Hеr husband was terrified, locked himself away
I let my instincts be commander in chief
And begun to expel while she prayed

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

Well I thought of the [?] opposed to my stance
And the [?] that did dance in her eyes
I cleared the first room and realised soon that I was no longer terrified
Of the spectres and fountains and menacing wraiths that had danced in my dark forest as long as I knew
Her husband, he thanked me, I returned these words quickly for it rid me of burdens I [?] long time [?]

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah (I will always choose to be)

Ah-ah-ah (and I am a crow [?])
Ah-ah-ah ([?])
Ah-ah-ah (there isn’t, there isn’t much time left)
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah (I’ll always choose to be)
Ah-ah-ah ([?])
Ah-ah-ah ([?])
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah (and I am a crow)
Ah-ah-ah ([?])
Ah-ah-ah (there isn’t, there isn’t much time left)
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

No sleeping, no weeping, no falling (ah-ah-ah)
And [?], I need you, I’ll feed you
I’ll keep you (ah-ah-ah) dear to me
You’re withered and haggard and [?] (ah-ah-ah)
This is fate, I’ll have you, I’ll hold you, your open door (ah-ah-ah)
And [?] no sleeping, no weeping, no falling (ah-ah-ah)
And [?], I need you, I’ll feed you
I’ll keep you (ah-ah-ah) dear to me
You’re withered and haggard and [?] (ah-ah-ah)
This is fate, I’ll have you, I’ll hold you, your open door (ah-ah-ah)

[?] no sleeping, no weeping, no falling (ah-ah-ah)
And [?], I need you, I’ll feed you
I’ll keep you (ah-ah-ah) dear to me

This is fate, I’ll have you, I’ll hold you, your open door (ah-ah-ah)

And [?], I need you, I’ll feed you
I’ll keep you (ah-ah-ah) dear to me
You’re withered and haggard and [?] (ah-ah-ah)
This is fate, I’ll have you, I’ll hold you, your open door (ah-ah-ah)
