|
I see a cross, so rotten and sad |
|
I see a flag, a bloody torn rag |
|
Oh, the games we play |
|
Oh, the lies we tell |
|
Oh, the hearts that are broken |
|
Between heaven and hell |
|
And the stones will fall, never to rise |
|
And the world will shrug, and close her eyes |
|
In this black night |
|
In these jaws of steel |
|
All our battles lost |
|
Beneath an iron hill |
|
Oh, what damned mankind |
|
And all his woes |
|
And I'd murder Cupid |
|
With his bow |
|
And the stones will fall, never to rise |
|
And the world will shrug, and close her eyes |
|
Across this earth |
|
A poison seeps |
|
From house to house |
|
That plague does creep |
|
With smiles and whispers |
|
To blunt our swords |
|
With fools' gold |
|
For us all |
|
And the stones will fall, never to rise |
|
And the world will shrug and close her eyes |
|
And simply say "goodbye" |
