Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
The bells ring out above my room
An announcement of a loss
And in the act three men decide
An indefinite epilogue
ย
My letters have all gone
A journey that's unsure
A message that was rich
A hand that was poor
Oh have me breathe and let me go
'Cause I don't want you to know
'Cause I don't want you to know
Oh I don't want you
Want you
Want you
My own description may have failed
Taught from pictures that were saved
Along with images from words
That were saved and not erased
The shelves arranged above my head
A memory of my fears
Blankets hold the smell of a life
And soak the many years
Oh have me breathe and let me go
'Cause I don't want you to know
'Cause I don't want you to know
Oh I don't want you
Want you
Oh want you

Oh missionary are you here?
Oh missionary are you here?
Oh missionary are you here?
Oh missionary are you here?
Sun doesn't burn when the water comes
The water doesn't come like the English rain
They bury their heads for self-defense
A marked improvement through diligence
We are alone against our sins
Alone against our sins
Alone against our sins
ย
Vacant rooms that are full of men
They sit on stools awaiting time
Discussion leads to little sense
They bury their heads for self-defense
We are alone against our sins
Alone against our sins
Alone against our sins
