Love Does Not Kill
Love Does Not Kill
I am happy for you my son
After all these years
After this pain and suffering
You have found a job
And it buys you clothes,
This black suit that you have
Wear it on your shoulders
And never wear it on your heart
Serve your people
But above all, love them
Love does sting
But love does not kill
You cannot change what you have done
But you can wash your hands
Wash your hands my son
Wash your hands and walk away
Your hands are gifted
And they should not be tainted with blood
Come now my son
Come and be by your people`s side
When you grow old
When all this is done
You will have nothing but great memories
My son, oh my son, my only son
Build a bright future for your offspring
You might have plenty now
But soon it will fade away
And you will be stuck with a haunted life
