She lit the fire with trembling hands, The woods were watching, cold and still One breath, one blade, one whispered chant She gave the blood the forest willed Now every night she locks the door But hears small feet across the floor The cradle rocks without her touch And lullabies rot into hush (Mama, mama, mama) Sleep now, mama, under moss and frost Feel what I felt, everything you lost The soil remembers every scream And feeds the roots beneath your dream I see your shadow behind my eyes You fed me to roots and ancient lies The trees still drip with what I gave Now sing my name inside your grave She sews the soil into her dress She walks where no one dares confess Your breath will slow, your soul will ache Soon you'll dream with eyes awake The lullaby returns each night A ghost-child's voice in candlelight Sleep now, mama, under moss and frost Feel what I felt, everything you lost The soil remembers every scream And feeds the roots beneath your dream I see your shadow behind my eyes You fed me to roots and ancient lies The trees still drip with what I gave Now sing my name inside your grave I see your shadow behind my eyes You fed me to roots and ancient lies The trees still drip with what I gave Now sing my name inside your grave Sleep now... mother... sleep...
