Lyrics

Devastation at last, finally we meet
After all of these years out here on the street
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
Now I have been overthrown
Overthrown
And I thought if I towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
Devastation, my door was left open wide
You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
I made a note to myself I nearly forgot
Now I am overwrought
I'm overwrought
And I thought if I towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
One day this ground will break
And open up for me, I hope it will
I hope it will
Salutations at last, down on my knees
I heard the bugle this morn', blast reveille
Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm
All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to the helm
Now I am overwhelmed
I'm overwhelmed
And I thought if I towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I towed the right lines
(Devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I towed the right lines
(Devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I towed the right lines
(Devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought if I towed the right lines
(Devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
