Eclipse

I saw a boy in the street just yesterday
He wore a red hat as he walked and cried
I asked around why he was living this way
The told me that his father had just died

I heard the boy who wore the red hat
He cried revenge out on to me
That I would be doomed where I sat
And that I would pay eternally

I told the by that it’s not my fault
I killed him to keep my death at bay
I had to repel you father’s assault
He should not have lived his life that way

I told my son before I had to go
That I’d be home in no time at all
Now a lonely home, he’ll grow to know
That’ll be my last though before I fall

Now he will cry and walk around town
He’ll say “for my father, they all will pay”
His mother will say, when she sits him down
He should not have lived his life that way”
