Lit like a candle and we burned so bright, gods showed their faces and we rolled the dice

Dove to the bottom, drank so deep, blood black water put us straight to sleep

We prayed for rain and we turned our eyes to the clouds

When the sun came out, man, we screamed out loud



Night becomes the dawn, we were so right, we were so wrong

Worse or better, looks like forever is not that long



The seeds that were planted grew over our heads, closed like a coffin to protect the dead

Struggled at the shackles, strained at the ropes, tried to untangle but there was no hope

Learning the steps made us weak instead of strong

Where wolves were many and the shadows long



We shall not part, so goes the song, we were so right, we were so wrong

Worse or better, looks like forever is not that long



Forgot the clock and the time flew past, blindfolded and chained to the mast

Flew like a rocket, dropped like a stone, digging in the ground for a stranger's bones

Delivered our lines but our voices went unheard until the truth became the devils word



We shall not part, so goes the song, they were so right, they were so wrong

Worse or better looks like forever has come and gone
