Morning sky, a storm Across the great divide But you and I were born On the other side Forsaken cavaliers Valiantly we ride We should disappear Into the night Into the night But if we run, run, run, run We might as well have won, won, won, won Try as I may but I can't seem to shake this sickness I am afraid we're about to be made to bear witness To something that they will eventually pray for forgiveness Try as I may but I can't seem to shake this sickness This sickness ♪ Backs against the wall In tandem, we will sing On the steps of city hall From the fall until the spring From the fall until the spring 'Cause if we run, run, run, run We might as well have won, won, won, won Will we be tied to the mast? Until the bitter end Till our children rise to bury the past And forever be condemned To repeat it again ♪ Try as I may but I can't seem to shake this sickness I am afraid we're about to be made to bear witness To something that they will eventually pray for forgiveness Try as I may but I can't seem to shake this sickness This sickness ♪ This sickness This sick-, this sickness This sickness This sick-, this sick-, this sickness
