Gurdjieff’s Daughter Lyrics

[Verse]
If they adorn themselves with crystals to make them look sharp
Sleep with their hand on a pistol, oh, they’re afraid of the dark
Well, if it wakes you
Which it has been known to
Don’t be alarmed
Darkness can’t do you harm
Fear will hurt you

[Verse]
And outside, if wind is beating a tree to a bend
Don’t fear that it might be meeting some untimely end
They do what they’re supposed to
But they have been known to
Stand strong and tall
Weather it all
Take what you can

[Verse]
Never give orders just to be obeyed
Never consider yourself or others without knowing that you’ll change
It may not surprise you
But pride has been known to
Rise up a storm
Countless lives lost
At the hands of pride, and I’ll fall

[Chorus]
Who’ll weep for them? Sometimes I do
I do sometimes
Who weeps for them? Sometimes I do
I do sometimes
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide

[Verse]
Don’t be impressed by strong personalities
Sincere words are rarely sickly sweet
But if they fool you
Which they have been known to
Don’t lose your sight
Know something’s not right
And look at the stars

[Verse]
Be wary of being given a name
If for some reason, you’re not considered the same
Once they name you
They have been known to
Lock you in
Statistical sin they’d rather ignore

[Chorus]
Who’ll weep for them? Sometimes I do
I do sometimes
Who weeps for them? Sometimes I do
I do sometimes
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep your eyes wide
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide

[Outro]
Keep your eyes on the back of your
Keep your eyes on the back of your
Keep your eyes on the back of your mind
