On December 13th Songtext
von Sans Parade

On December 13th
On Saint Lucy′s Day
The choir sings season's songs

Under fluorescent lights
In a pale white room
In a tiny pale white town
In rural districts

Where you would never go
And I will never return

And behind the wall
In a shiny glass bottle
Every slow breath flows like pearls

Through sterilised water
With a warm bubbling sound
In a dim quiet room
Where quiet people

Have gathered around the bed
Holding hands, holding tears
Holding each other′s hands


Hey, tearful people
In the end everything
Is forgiven when the darkness falls

Hey, tearful people
Don't you know that?
In the end everything
Is forgiven when the darkness falls

Hey, tearful people
Hey, tearful people

And a pale blonde girl
A candle in her pale white hands
Pearls in her pale blue eyes

Leads the choir away
In a pale white corridor
Under pale fluorescent lights

Singing turns into
Echoes and distant sounds
And fades away
Won't return


And behind the wall
Last inhale through plastic tubes
Last exhale through chapped lips
Before it′s over

Hey, tearful people
In the end everything
Is forgiven when the darkness falls

Hey, tearful people
Don′t you know that
In the end everything
Is forgiven when the darkness falls

Hey, tearful people
Hey, tearful people
Ooh-ooh

Hey, tearful people
Hey, tearful people
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
