Evil befalls a heart without honor?
Oblivion holds a heart without pride?
Affliction befalls an act without conscience
A million purple hearts in a line

Chorus:
To carry a sword as a pawn there’s no honor
A discarded tool for commerce and woe
Where are you now and who are you fighting?
Keep your head down and get your ass home
Where you belong, where you are loved

Kings devise plans to quench the thirst of their coffers
And make us all march to the sound of their drums
“Fight for god and country or you’re unpatriotic!”
Rather than question or resist we succumb

Chorus:
To carry a sword as a pawn there’s no honor
A discarded tool for commerce and woe
Where are you now and who are you fighting?
Keep your head down and get your ass home
Where you belong, where you are loved

Breakdown:
Evil befalls a heart without honor?
Oblivion holds a heart without pride?
Affliction befalls an act without conscience
A million purple hearts in a line

Apologies can never account for the nightmares
Or dead loved ones too young to depart
Folded flags don’t answer the questions arising
21 guns don’t mend broken hearts

Chorus: Fade into hall reverb

While slowly gaining sea legs on a train
Oh I’ll have you know, you’re learning as you go
While slowly seining through the human stain
And polishing a stone
Steady as she goes away, Steady as she goes away
Steady as she rolls on by

While slowly waning, working up the pain
Of harboring a soul, learning takes it’s toll
Running through the train through the fire and the rain
and the trial bears the gold
Steady as she goes away, Steady as she goes away
Steady as she rolls on by

Chorus:
Wake me up and hear me calling
I can’t live while I’m sleepwalking
Hold me though I’ll never know
I’m frozen in ice and too numb to feel

While slowly feigning existence worth acclaim
The wiser take ahold then gladly let it go
Fading right from wrong I can tell you “Delta Dawn”
Is not a happy song
If you’re a faded rose from days gone by
a faded rose from days gone by
Steady as she rolls on by

Chorus x 2

Fallen leaves dead on the ground
As the hands are spinning round
Fire in the sky with pride
Pressure builds, doors open wide

Chorus:
Tie me down and watch me burn
How I live is my concern
Ashes ashes we all fall down
That reminder is all around

Fallen leaves dead on the ground
I can’t help while sleeping sound
Fire in the sky with smoke
Pressure builds, the veil has broken

Chorus x 2

In wintertime the birds that sing
Fly to the sun or fall to freeze
Fair you well, my pretty girl
Now I must leave and fly up to the sun

Thumbelina, Persephone is calling
Will I live through winter?
Fair you well, my pretty girl
Now I must leave and fly up to the sun

Chorus:
Lay Low my sad Thumbelina
Stay away from that suitor underground
Come rescue me, Thumbelina
Look how hard and far I’ve fallen

Unbeknownst in the summertime
It was I who sang so sweetly to you
The cold and dark now leaves me under
With your warmth I may get strong again

Chorus:
Lay Low my sad Thumbelina
Stay away from that suitor underground
Come rescue me, Thumbelina
Look how hard and far I’ve fallen

Remember when the splendor of the light
Had shined so proudly on us?
Wrap a withered leaf about you
The flight I take may save us in the end

Chorus:
Lay Low my sad Thumbelina
Stay away from that suitor underground
Come rescue me, Thumbelina
Look how hard and far I’ve fallen

We’ll all suffer below
I have to fly higher
We’ll all suffer below
Now go pick your flower

I must leave and fly up to the sun
