I see my mother sit in silence   Count the minutes to closing time   One more drink and he'll bring home anger   Like clockwork, I would hide      Heavy steps, drunken threats   Locked away I can feel you      In my room, I can hear her fight his kiss   In my room, I hear him bring down his fist   And still at night, I hear my mother cry, mother cry      Tonight the wait is over   And he won't be pacified   He'll raise his bottle just like a hammer   And she will be crucified      Broken cross, something lost   Locked away I can feel you      In my room, I can hear her fight his kiss   In my room, I hear him bring down his fist   And still at night, I hear my mother cry      What did she do to suffer you?   Her tears bleed through the walls in here   And I'll stand in your way, father   You won't hit her ever again, no      Broken cross, something lost   Locked away I can feel you      In my room, I can hear her fight his kiss   In my room, I hear him bring down his fist   And still at night, I hear my mother cry      And she lays herself down   No more strength to resist   Then I close my eyes   But the darkness won't forgive      And still at night, I hear my mother cry   Oh, don't cry, please don't cry   Just this time      And still at night, I hear my mother cry   Take his [Incomprehensible]   I don't wanna see the [Incomprehensible]   [Incomprehensible]      No
