Nightly Gale David lyrics

A boy in a dress
Spent his childhood
Cause of his mother
Pretending to be a girl
Result of her sickly
Maternal desires
Broke up the family
Gained his sanity

Reset the relationship
Between the sexes
Saved by his father
Cared for by others
Left with the sick
To become healthy

Maybe the place
Maybe the people
He found the joy
To recreate the child
Grew up a man
Sensible and wise
With an aim in life
Plan for the future

Yet no-one found
His dark secret
Which allowed him
To be happy
It let him leave

The walls of home
With fistfuls of joy
The jar overflowed

Remember why

Remember whom
Remember aim
Forget the curse

With his liberation
Came the hunter
His prey became
Those happy souls
Twisted methods
And devious ways
Of squeezing everything
To never stem the joy

Sinking ever deeper
Into the psychopath
Only fearing when
The joy runs dry

His downfall
Caused by his greed
No-one for a moment
Ever doubted that

He was insane for
What he had done
It could only mean
Nothing to him

For he still used
The evil sorcery
So long as the jar
Of joy never ran dry
