I've never asked Seven times I've heard my conscience cry I've never worked out Why I need to live this tainted life? How do I feel right now? Suddenly I'm not sure Slowly we all fall down I'm waking up at last With bitter aftertastes of guilt Shooting deserters we fired at will And there's a silhouette A faceless shape that we have built Scratching the dirt on the distant hills Seven times I've heard my conscience cry I've never worked out Why I need to live this tainted life? How do I feel right now? Suddenly I'm not sure Slowly we all fall down Like broken horses
