Violation of trusting hearts comes to you with a price You scatter around when darkness falls, a pack of frightened mice Lay your arms down stop that war, an exercise in vain Use your heads and give a damn, remove the veil of pain CHORUS: Words of wisdom crowns of gold Words of fashion dolls of old Ages so young so many leapers Mages, fishermen, throngs of reapers CHORUS Desecration of love lost picks at you with a knife Raising banners to paeans of old, is it worth a life? Ring in the new because the elder's taken a bad turn Alarms through time, you pay the cost, how will you ever learn? CHORUS Putrefaction in the trenches, a lesson in pure hate A soldier dreams, a girl is crying, signs of a lost fate Your turn will come, prisoners caught, released in clouds of gray A monster lies between your ears, this dragon you must slay
