Defeater - At Peace - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

[He just sat at home with the bottle. His mother had turned into a skeleton of herself, no longer even able to get out of the house to fill up her arms; he had to make the runs for her. He didn’t mind anymore, he knew how she felt. Anything to take away the pain of losing someone. She would just sit with her rosary, rolling the beads in her tiny hands. Every time he left the house for his mother, or for another bottle, he would stand on that dock and watch the ocean like he used to. Scream out to no one for the coward to come home so he could make him pay. And every night he would start to fade with every hour that passed. He would smoke his last cigarette and find himself in the house in the morning not knowing how he got home. And one morning he woke to his mother and her rosary beads no longer hanging on the bedpost.]

You’ve got to find her

Your mother ain’t fit to be alone

Her rosary beads are gone, only one place she’d be

The sun is nearly up, put your jacket back on

And walk down the street

Feel the wind start to shift, cold and biting

Just like everything that’s changed

When you do find her

Take the only family that you’ve got back to home

Head down, walk through the crowds, families downtown

Jealous bitter old man, just yourself you can’t stand

Man that took away your wife, coward left you behind

Kill them both if you could

Head down, cigarette in hand

Concrete, cold brick and sand

To the place where she prays, she suffers her days

Sleepless nights with the dirt when the addiction hurts

Up to that old white oak door church

And that’s where you find her in that last pew

You touch her cold hand

Your mother is gone

In front of her God, needle in her arm

Family plot will be filled

Perfect ending to a tragedy

Put her in cold wet ground

Finally at peace with her husband now

Lost all will

Hours strain, but months pass alone with your gun

Blue-collar shipyard, your days have gone

Lost it all for the promise of a normal life

All taken from you when you lost your wife

So you sit in that chair

Waiting for death

Barrel to your head
