lyrics

Edwyn was born by candlelight
Late one stormy autumn’s eve
He’s mother took her final breath
As Edwyn began to breathe

Resentment filled his father so
For when he looked into Edwyn’s eyes
All he saw instead of the boy
Was his wife’s final sacrifice

Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive

So pale with the blackest hair
Edwyn lived very much alone
He’d stare over the sycamores
Branches bare around his home

Still mute at the age of seven
Edwyn skulked between the rooms
He’d mingle among party guests
But they’d never see him move

Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive

At ten the birds no longer flew
In the sky above Edwyn’s house
His father boarded the windows up
To stop the world from finding out

That Edwyn was not a normal boy
An air of terror waltzed through him
A piercing stare shot from his eyes
Freezing cold the soul within

Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive and he’ll forgive you
Learn to forgive

He doesn’t close his eyes when he sleeps
He doesn’t talk and he won’t eat
He paints pictures of events to come
He’s waiting for his turn
