Mary Bell
Dark Childhood Echoes: Mary Bell's Haunting Tale
Lyrics
Let the evening in now
Inviting the evening to enter
Let the darkness come
Welcoming darkness
Shadows in your room unfold the night
Shadows in the room represent the onset of night
Time to go to sleep now
Time for sleep
For every man and child
Sleep is for everyone, regardless of age or gender
Tonight you're still protected by the blackness
Feeling protected by the darkness of night
One was nearly seven
Referring to a child who was almost seven years old
Her sister almost five
Mentioning a younger sister, nearly five years old
You'll tell us all tomorrow, mary bell
A request for Mary Bell to share her experiences tomorrow
About how smoothly things went
How things transpired smoothly for Mary Bell
And how they didn't fight
Indicating a lack of resistance or struggle
You're going back there, mary bell
Mary Bell is returning to the scene in memory or imagination
And tell us how you found out
Asking Mary Bell to reveal what she discovered, which was inappropriate for a child
What no child should know
Referring to knowledge beyond a child's innocence
Tell us about the killing, mary bell
Asking Mary Bell to speak about an act of killing
The night is dark above you
Describing a dark, quiet night sky above
The universe is quiet
The vastness and calmness of the universe
Tonight you're still protected by the blackness
Feeling protected by the darkness of night once more
