Father, oh Father, you're falling from grace.
You can never rebuild what you once have erased.
Mother, oh Mother, you're not what you were.
And I can't decide if it's better or worse.
Blood and marrow let you down,
Time for mourning has come.
Brother, oh brother, our ship's sprung a leak.
We were too young to know and too sad to speak.
Blood and marrow let you down,
Time for mourning has come to pass.
You can never rebuild what you once have erased.
Mother, oh Mother, you're not what you were.
And I can't decide if it's better or worse.
Blood and marrow let you down,
Time for mourning has come.
Brother, oh brother, our ship's sprung a leak.
We were too young to know and too sad to speak.
Blood and marrow let you down,
Time for mourning has come to pass.
