Only the blind man can see The apple falls far from the tree You'll never hear the black bird's song A kiss of life won't last too long At the end of it all Unstitch your heart if it stings A puppet cut loose from his strings You'll never hear the black bird's song A kiss of life won't last too long At the end of it all Forgive me angels for broken truth I've seen how they made our kings Drop down and bow on their knees It's time I beg for The swaying pendulum Before it sleeps inside its glass cage And god I'll miss you The pain won't go away Even if our feelings stay alive An empty stare A gasp for air In the end you'll hear A mother's call her hero falls At the end of it all Forgive me angels for broken truth I've seen how they made our kings Forgive me angels for broken truth I've seen how they made our kings Drop down and bow on their knees Drop down and bow on their knees We ignored the sacrifice Laughed while walking on thin ice If only our young night Had just one more day to live
