Conqueror's Song

Laura Cantrell


(written by Dave Schramm) 

You keep all your aces so close to your chest 
How many more fell today? 
You overcame fortune and overlooked fame 
How many more fell today? 

Tell me your reasons for fighting 
Tell me your kindness has saved the day 
Tell me I'm overexcited 
How many more fell today? 

A siren is sounding but this ain't no drill 
Tell me the names of your friends today 
And your awesome ignorance shines in you still 
Tell me the names of your friends today 

Give me one reason to like you 
Give me a good reason to think like you 
Honestly I think you've tried to 
How many more fell today? 

We've played along 
With your conqueror's song 
Too long, too long 

Tell me I'm overexcited 
How many more fell today? 

You keep all your aces so close to your chest 
How many more fell today?
