Prince of Cries
Prince of Cries
Sighs
Alone in tears
Sneers
At what he should do about them
Them in their slum
Wanting to be free
But they feed him
Fill him to the brim
He let's a tear
Fall near
To let the rain crash down
With a soft dripping sound
Drip, drip, drip, drop
Then a stop…
last of the fallen
Fall in the coffin
Say goodbye, sweet Prince of Cries,
As the man you were dies
