lyrics

As the smoke clears
Comes true my fears
We were bitter till the end, thought we were a God send
This bloody field
We refused to yield
Now the paper is stained red
But it’s not my body that bled

What am I supposed to say?
How was this king supposed to know
That at the end of the day
We would turn away
While they deface all we loved.

“Oh paper-boy, do you bear no truth?”
I wrote it on my body, for all of you to see
If I was burning bright, would it give you light?
While I turned to blackened ash, disappeared into the tempest.

Why do you shoulder that fame
When your body can barely stand on two legs?
They’re going to hate you for it now, they’re going to stand up and say out loud
“He's to blame, what a shame”

Don’t hate them now
Don’t give up now
You’ve got this chance to prove your claim
You’ve got this time to make a name
For them all

What if the smoke cleared now, and standing tall and proud
Was their king?
Who could drive those villains back, cut them down and lead the attack
And victory, for you and me
