lyrics

Everybody knows its a parade of sullen souls
This is what we chose when we paid before we go
Did you take his curse when you changed an honest one Did you smell his ghost when you claimed his only son
What does it cost to defy what was never shown
What cause and cost could deny his blood and bones All of that what it could’ve been
But it wouldn’t be
That it couldn’t win
Was it destiny
What it could’ve been
But it wouldn’t be
Everybody knows he’s afraid of dying alone
And his book is closed and his friends have all gone home Now the kids are alone and the saints have all been stoned What blessed cause could deny his blood and bones
What does it cost to defy what was never shown
Now the kids are lost and the fires will never grow
Only then what it could’ve been
But it wouldn’t be
All that it couldn’t win
Was it destiny
What it could’ve been
But it wouldn’t be
What worthy cause
Could define the force of laws
What cause and loss could deny his blood and bones Only then what it could’ve been
But it wouldn’t be
All that it couldn’t win
Was it destiny
What it could’ve been
But it wouldn’t be
