Scarlet Furies Safe In Arms Lyrics

Brightened eyes, my secrets lie not far away His metals and his badges are all dull by day Many have I an answered plea, my general now I'€™ll often see He comes at dawn, out on the lawn, in quiet steps With darkened eyes and wounds that bled, have pillow for his weary head He lays his body down to rest, among the dogs and gathered nest

Because he'€™s safe in arms now, what luck have I that I should see Safe in arms now, my bloody boy returned to me From Jericho back home to me

He sleeps so deep, so still at peace, and quiet thus No frightful dreams, of battle's roar, that shake his trust I hope that he, is dreaming on, of better days The morning fog, and waiting sun, have healing ways I'll let him sleep, and soundly lay A monument to him I pray
Because he'€™s safe in arms now, what luck have I that I should see Safe in arms now, my bloody boy returned to me From Jericho back home to me

For bruises fade, no traces left, as quick as frost And never will, I have to know, a lover lost My peace is made, my doubts rolled up, my bed complete His waking gaze, and heart and soul, light on my sheets

Because he'€™s safe in arms now, what luck have I that I should see Safe in arms now, my bloody boy returned to me From Jericho back home to me.
