As the Band Played On
Ah, young boy, you've killed again... How do you think you should feel?
You've become another life's end... An eternally unbreakable seal
You show no generosity... You know what you have done
Slowly driven to insanity... As the band played on
So, broken warrior, you are now the witness... Skin growing cold and a last
breath
Do you pray to God for forgiveness? Or do you pray for your own death?
Do you think what you do is right... Do you think all the deaths are wrong?
All that's left for you is the fight.... As the band played on
I refuse to look down on you... Talk if you must, there's no reason
Crimson all around you... Judge and jury to murder and treason
Shame compels as you face it... You're entangled in the merciless bond
Though you never seem to embrace it.... As the band played on
Fine, young boy, taken into war... Do you want to forget?
Will you nurture the seed battle bore... And just continue with your
regret?
Poor young soul lost in the rain... I can sense you want to die and be gone
You've suffered enough through all the pain.... As the band played on
Is that it, callow soldier? Do you want to die?
You've been the executioner and the beholder... And never learned how to
cry
Yes, that's it, isn't it? It's just been too long
But you can never give in to it...As the band played on
You see the end coming now... You face it with all your might
With honor, grace, and a humble bow... A decision to fly or fight
I see you falling forever... Your soul is now gone
All lonely soldiers joined together... As the band played on.
