"Matriarch" lyrics - BLACK CROWN INITIATE

Patriarchal generations
Litanies of guilt and shame
Walk the line of his creation
Carry on his ghastly name

[Bridge:]
Mother asks her child why
The child did not let her die
On bed of tears the tired mother lies
Her son, a man undone inside

[Chorus:]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed

[Bridge:]
Mother asks her child why
The child did not let her die
On bed of tears the tired mother lies
Her son, a man undone inside

Patriarchal generations
Litanies of guilt and shame
Walk the line of his creation
Carry on his ghastly name

[Chorus:]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2x:]
When all is still and silent
This deep wound is exposed
With broken door forced open
All other doors are closed
