Beating like a drum

Elf shoes beat upon the roof top, the whole concept dumb

For what was the point? If only you'd known you're almost done

Because in the end, death's fights where always won

For in the end all your efforts, all had a low sum


The theme song will still play in your head, a comforting hymn

For that's all you'll want to remember of him

You'll remember far more, though it won't be your name

You'll remember enough so that when you do come, it won't be the same

Because you'll remember the hymn and how he left you to be torn limb from limb


You'll remember the bar that beat like a drum

You'll remember the laugh that teased your thoughts of rescue as dumb

You'll remember thinking since he killed you his time would be done

And when you come back you'll know, even with your death the bats morals had won

For it was about your death this time, the crimes of his in sum


But it just didn't add up, it just wasn't enough

For even in your death, the first one still was given more love
