Through the years of decay we walk like tigers in cages |
|
With each passing turn the smaller and smaller the circles |
|
Every weapon and word legitimate now as protection |
|
But these things should never be spoken |
|
These things should never be spoken |
|
I stand undefeated alone in the ring just pacing |
|
The sweat and the blood dried on my hands all wasted |
|
I'm shouting "come back and fight for I am the king" |
|
But the lights are all out and the people are gone |
|
We always burned brightest when no one was watching |
|
Now I kiss the lines on your beautiful face |
|
But these things should never be spoken |
|
These things should never be spoken |
|
And sometimes your hunger for life seems like desperation |
|
And when I read about the world these days all I can feel is hatred |
|
The fortune teller is closing her doors |
|
She looked into the crystal and saw nothing at all |
|
They're waiting round here for something to happen |
|
They won't really want it when it rolls out to greet them |
|
But these things should never be spoken |
|
These things should never be spoken |
