Lyrics In the Wake of Giants - Minutes

She collapses on the corner
Thinking she saw her boy
Ripped from the hands of his mother
The reason for all her joy

Cut the child into two
Give half to one
Half to the other

Lost from the start
Open up my heart
And test my strength
And try my faith

She was cutting down the flowers
From the wreath in her hair
She pretended not to care
But the loss was still there

Lost was his name
He wont remember the face
Of the father that loved him
Or the mother that bore him
