The man that I knew always told the truth
He never led me astray, he said "I'd die for you."
But he let me inside, in his nurturing love
He looked up to the heavens.
The man that I knew always told the truth
He never led me astray, he said "I'd die for you."
But he let me inside, in his nurturing love
He looked up to the heavens and he butchered a dove
You used to be innocent, fighting for our lives
Now you're damning the widows and they're not ready to die
Come in from the cold, catch your breath as I feed you
How could you murder your own? I'd let you go but I need you
Thinking of ways to justify your mistakes
Its hard to pretend we're not in flames
Come in from the cold, catch your breath as I feed you
I see that glare in your eye, don't walk away when I need you.
We'll build our own
Create our home
The disarray you've made of us
We'll bury in the snow x2
The ground on which I walk has caught a deadly disease
The anthem that you taught has brought us down upon our knees
And I forbid you to take another casualty
We are lions led by asses
But it needs to be saved so come with me
To the land of the cheats and the home of the vain
Vain.
Sick in the winter, weak in the fall
As you cross the river, you'll abandon us all
Frozen to die among the thousands you left
Frozen to die, frozen to die
CHORUS
How could you show concern for the most trivial of things?
When your children toss and turn and scream, tugging at your strings
The second that the tables turn, you'll be begging for a word
But our mouths are sewn shut from every time you threw us to the curb.
CHORUS
I'll suffer I'll suffer, I wont say a word
You may never have loved me, but I'll sing like a bird.
