I’m not about to set out my stall,
Defend this battered fort,
The guns will remain silent,
No casualties I can afford,
In this battle that has already been won,
In the shadow of a gunman,
We lift our voices, we raise them up,
In memory of the lost men,
For the subtlety of our victory,
Will be recalled as we sleep,
As she’s broken through my armour,
And on the inside I am weak,

Soothe these aching bones,
Cast aside the sheets,
Expose the human nature that,
Lies underneath,
Tear at my hyde, show me,
The sacrifice you made,
For me and all of mankind,
For us you could have saved,

The rising smoke obscures,
My judgment and my thoughts,
As I try to figure out what will come,
And what will not,
I need to found a nation on the blood,
Of one good man,
Who tried so hard, yet has failed thus far,
To implement his plan,
I feel too, that should I speak,
Of things so simple and pure,
That I will be victimised as well,
For not providing a cure,
For the ails of the world,
It’s shattered moral code,
We need some intervention,
And I think we need it now,

Where is our saviour?
Our Lord upon most high,
Did you die for no reason?
Did you, did you die?
Where is the shepherd?
Who has lead his sheep astray,
Far from the love that I seek,
Did you take it?
Take it away,

Soothe my aching bones,
But hope has already died,
I just need to feel as if you care,
Every once and awhile,
We’re left alone to our own devices,
Without a guiding hand, to move me from the shadows
Into the Promised Land,

You’re becoming a parody,
Of all you used to be,
A harvester of men,
A connoisseur like me,
Who would pick away,
And play a tune,
That we could all follow,
But you forgot it too soon,
It was left in the hands of unworthy men,
And that’s all that I can say,
On behalf of love my friend,

Soothe my bones,
Cast aside the sheets,
Underneath every deity,
A human nature lies beneath,
Soothe my bones,
Cast aside the sheets,
Underneath every deity,
A human nature lies beneath
