Chamber – Shall I fall Lyric

Text: Marcus Testory & Elisabeth Kranich

The smell of peat
Misty veils obscure
This darkened place, our home
My hands are sore
My life spent in toil
Had to care for you
Since you were born

But hear this voice
Mother’s calling us
Promising tenderness and warmth
Oh, sister come
Can’t you hear her moan
She’s out there in the fen

Shall I fall, shall I fall
Shall I fall for you
Shall I fall, shall I fall
Shall I follow you

This flickering sound
Is guiding us
To our mother’s lap behind these veils
Oh, sister please
Leave all that grind
Let this song induce you to the light

It’s an illusion
No guiding light
Our mother’s dead and gone
We’re all alone
My brother see
This twinkling shine
Is a perfidious black butterfly

My love don’t go
Stay right by my side
In my arms you shall sleep becalmed

Oh, sister please
I’m drained and freezing
The voice out there will care for us

There’s no more fear
No more pain
In mother’s embrace myself entrust

Don’t leave me now
My little love
In the clutches
Of the black butterfly
