lyrics

I was born under a dark moon
Against reason and nature
And the blackest of nights came so soon
In the heart of this creature

Oh, Mother of Rabbits
Shelter me from myself
Piece me together
And deliver me from this hell

He was born under a red moon
Against reason and nature
And crimson as blood, it came so soon
In the eyes of this creature

Oh, Mother of Rabbits
Shelter him from himself
Piece him together
And deliver him from this hell

We feel the kick, we feel the hum
We feel it burn deep in our lungs
We feel the kick, we feel the hum
We feel it burn and we feel numb
We feel numb

Oh, Mother of Rabbits
Shelter us from ourselves
Piece us together
And deliver us from this hell.
