Shall i fall
Chambermisty veils obscure
this darkened place, our home
my hands are sore
my life spent in toil
had to care for you
since you were born
B: But hear this voice
mother's calling us
promising tenderness and warmth
oh, sister come
can't you hear her moan
she's out there in the fen
S: Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I fall for you
Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I follow you
B: This flickering sound
is guiding us
to our mother's lap behind these veils
oh, sister please
leave all that grind
let this song induce you to the light
S: It's an illusion,
no guiding light
our mother's dead and gone, we're all alone
my brother see
this twinkling shine
is a perfidious black butterfly
B: Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I fall for you
Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I follow you
S: My love don't go
stay right by my side
in my arms you shall sleep becalmed
B: oh, sister please
I'm drained and freezing,
the voice out there will care for us
B: There's no more fear,
no more pain
in mother's embrace myself entrust
S: Don't leave me now
my little love
in the clutches
of the black butterfly
S+B: Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I fall for you
Shall I fall, shall I fall, shall I follow you
