about

Dark-folk, murder song

An intense story of domestic abuse - and the lengths a young girl would go to save herself and her mother.

lyrics

The hands hit, the hands break
They cover me up, cover me up
The place dark, the place quiet
They cover me up, cover me up

The noose is tight and it cuts deep 

As simple a blade so sharp and neat 

There’s a hole in the ground that you can’t see 

Let’s take a walk to the trees.

The mouth yells, the mouth tells
You cover it up, cover it up
The woods dark, the trees quiet
You cover it up, cover it up

A tale from a devil you would deliver 

Black as the eyes you always gave her 

Somehow you managed to keep a believer 

Let’s take a walk to the river

La la break in the silence
La la I’ll keep you under
La la meet you with violence
Soon you’ll belong to the river

The heart aches, the heart breaks
I cover you up, cover you up
The water dark, the water so quiet
I cover you up, cover you up

I cover you up, cover you up
I cover you up, cover you up
Now you belong to the river
