Casualty
(专辑: The Mortal Coil - 2017)
They broke our backs against the
pavement They ground our teeth down to the
bone The
hung us high and bled us dry Left to die here, defenseless and alone In the
dark Like a
forest fire waiting for a
hint of spark Take up your arms, sharpen your knives They gave their very last chance when they gave Our lives away Words betray us in the
native tongues we speak When power corrupts the
strong, false hope Contends all weak Break the
confines, brace us for the
flood Raining from the
heavens with the
force of seven gods On us all (We were all fixated on ego) All our lives, just a
drop in the
ocean One more nail in the
coffin, straight into the
dirt Born to die, it's the
final debt that we pay The
stain on your hands that can't be washed away (Can't be washed away) A
permanent solution, a
moral absolution The
guilty many, the
new disorder The
bloody hand leads the
lam to the
slaughter I
heard them laugh as their eyes rolled back Raising a
glass as their hearts turned black Drowning the
guilt Tyrant, how can you stand by their graves? Not all can be saved A
wasted chance to set things straight A
change of heart that came too late Out of sight and out of mind We are the
ones you left behind Can you hear the
sound (A wasted chance to set things straight) Piercing the
silence ringing out (A change of heart that came too late) As we feed the
ground (Out of sight and out of mind) We are the
ones you left behind All our lives, just a
drop in the
ocean One more nail in the
coffin, straight into the
dirt Born to die, it's the
final debt that we pay The
stain on your hands that can't be washed away We are the
ones you left behind (We are the
ones you left behind)
