MUST IT TAKE A LIFE FOR HATEFUL
EYES TO GLISTEN ONCE AGAIN
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS LIKE
GELIGNITE
HAVE BLOWN US ALL TO ****
WHAT SAVIOR RESTS WHILE ON HIS
CROSS WE DIE
FORGOTTEN FREEDOM BURNS
HAS THE SHEPARD LED HIS LAMBS
ASTRAY
TO THE BIGOT AND THE GUN
MUST IT TAKE A LIFE FOR HATEFUL
EYES
TO GLISTEN ONCE AGAIN
CAUSE WE FIND OURSELVES IN THE
SAME OLD MESS
SINGIN' DRUNKEN LULLABIES
I WATCH AND STARE AS ROSIN'S
EYES TURN A DARKER SHADE OF RED
AND THE BULLET WITH THIS SNIPER
LIE
IN THEIR BLOODY GUTLESS CELL
MUST WE STARVE ON CRUMBS FROM
LONG AGO THROUGH BARS THESE
MEN MADE STEEL
IS IT A GREAT OR LITTLE THING WE
FOUGHT KNELT THE CONSCIENCE
BLESSED TO KILL
MUST IT TAKE A LIFE FOR HATEFUL
EYES
TO GLISTEN ONCE AGAIN
CAUSE WE FIND OURSELVES IN THE
SAME OLD MESS
SINGIN' DRUNKEN LULLABIES
AH BUT MAYBE IT'S THE WAY YOU
WERE TAUGHT
OR MAYBE IT'S THE WAY WE
FOUGHT
BUT A SMILE NEVER GRINS WITHOUT
TEARS TO BEGIN
FOR EACH KISS IS A CRY WE ALL LOST
THOUGH NOTHING IS LEFT TO GAIN
BUT FOR THE BANSHEE THAT STOLE
THE GRAVE
CAUSE WE FIND OURSELVES IN THE
SAME OLD MESS
SINGIN' DRUNKEN LULLABIES
IS IT AND DWELL ON FACES PAST
LIKE MEMORIES SEEM TO FADE
NO COLOUR LEFT BUT BLACK AND
WHITE
AND SOON WILL ALL TURN GREY
BUT MAY THESE SHADOWS RISE TO
WALK AGAIN
WITH LESSONS TRULY LEARNT
WHEN THE BLOSSOM FLOWERS IN
EACH OUR HEARTS
SHALL BEAT A NEW FOUND FLAME
MUST IT TAKE A LIFE FOR HATEFUL
EYES
TO GLISTEN ONCE AGAIN
CAUSE WE FIND OURSELVES IN THE
SAME OLD MESS
SINGIN' DRUNKEN LULLABIES
CAUSE WE FIND OURSELVES IN THE
SAME OLD MESS
SINGIN' DRUNKEN LULLABIES
SINGIN' DRUNKEN LULLABIES
