-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
-They're walking to the
Describes a group's journey, facing challenges and seeking value in a foreign land.
Beat of a broken drum.
-Digging for worth in
-A land under a foreign sun.
-The children call bitter words
Children endure harsh words in an unfamiliar language, their hearts burdened until the end.
Of a strange tongue.
-Hearts down, they're walking
-Heavy until the dying's down.
-Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh
-I see their hands.
Observes diverse reactions to the challenges: some resort to substances, some hold back, and light exists in darkness.
Some hold a bottle,
-Some hold back.
-And in their eyes,
-A wave of light
-In a sea of black.
-Their voices low,
Voices are subdued, seeking sustenance. They are aware of a profound sadness.
Trembling for blood to drink.
-And what they know
-Of a deep that cries to

The night oh they call,
-They call,

-They beat their chest to the sounds
Physical expressions intensify: chest-beating, wolf's cry, and reaching with claws, embodying emotional turmoil.
Of their broken hearts.
-Crying wolf under sheep's skins,
-Reaching out their claws.
-Stomping their feet,
Describes a struggle to fulfill roles: stomping, choking, and the pressure to be a father despite fatherlessness.
Never letting up the dust
-Choking up their lungs.
-Told to be a father,
-Growing up into a fatherless
-Son, oh my son, won't you come, won't you come.
A plea for a son to come, echoing the desire for familial connection and understanding.
Son, oh my son, won't you come, won't you come.

No they don't wanna be alone, but the
-Closet they keep closed
-Swallow the key so
-Nobody knows how they beat.
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
