Ribs

Marrow made a wife of Eve
 No one gave up a rib for me and mine
 My heart did expose to the elements
 Calloused and untouched by a man's design
 Oh, my ugly organs
 How lucky we are
 (How lucky we are)
 Brick and mortar between my bones
 Built a kingdom fierce and fortified
 My name fading from the yellow page
 Stones are laid upon the mountainside
 Oh, my savage empire
 How lucky we are
 (How lucky we are)
 Never to be moved by the words of a liar
 The dark doesn't frighten me
 I chose to close my eyes
 It is mine, it is mine
 The night doesn't frighten me
 I chose to let it thrive
 It is mine, it is mine
 ♪
 Time has changed the metaphor
 Now dust is not the origin of bone
 Little girl, don't let them sell you any armor
 All your ribs are still your own
 Oh, my precious child
 How lucky you are
 (how lucky you are)
 Handed down a shield for your tender parts
 
 The dark doesn't frighten me
 I chose to close my eyes
 It is mine, it is mine
 The night doesn't frighten me
 I chose to let it thrive
 It is mine, it is mine
 The dark doesn't frighten me
 I chose to close my eyes
 It is mine, it is mine
 The night doesn't frighten me
 I chose to close my eyes
 It is mine, it is mine
 Ohh

 Ohh
