Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did you sweep us far from your feet?
Reset in stone, this stark relief
Salted eyes and a sordid dye
Too many years
But don't despair, this day will be the damnedest day
[Verse 2]
Oh, if you'll take these things from me
Did you feed us tales of deceit?
Conceal the tongues who need to speak
Subtle lies, and a soiled coin
The truth is sold, the deal is done
But don't despair, this day will be the damnedest day
Oh, if you'll take these things from me
[Verse 3]
Undefined, no signs of regret
Your swollen pride, assumes respect
Talons fly, as a last disguise
But no return, the time has come
So don't despair, this day will be the damndest day
Oh, if you'll take these things from me
Oh, if you'll take these things from me
