Lyrics

[00:21.41] Thought I was rid of you once
[00:24.59] For a couple coins on the table
[00:36.72] Forgetting when you left that day
[00:40.26] You were young and angry and able
[00:52.79] I'd hoped I'd seen the last of you
[00:55.91] No more would I fetch or cower
[01:08.52] But when I fed you for a tip that day
[01:12.90] You were young and hungry for power
[01:15.92]
[01:19.17] Then a chill came on a beam of sun
[01:24.70] Natural as a cancer
[01:28.68] You would never stop 'til all was won
[01:33.14] The young man with all the answers
[01:38.30]
[02:10.55] That shape of love on every face
[02:14.15] The ghost of loss inside you
[02:26.41] Everyone else was just as lost
[02:29.84] And it's sad because you never knew
[02:42.29] Now history is on your side
[02:46.63] Who am I to deny it?
[02:58.80] A fiefdom for your fragile pride
[03:02.80] And who would dare defy it?
[03:05.63]
[03:08.58] Then a chill came on a beam of sun
[03:14.31] Natural as a cancer
[03:18.74] Bow down to the lord and son
[03:22.60] To the man with all the answers
