Left Behind
[Intro]
They were left behind
Not because they were weak
But because they were blind
[Verse]
Black magic by moonlight
Desecrating sacred sites
It’s so wilful
So wretched
So totally unexpected
Yet call these grifter’s king.
They thought peace
Was a reward
They forgot the pen was the sword
They thought prejudice
had something to say
Don’t be fooled by the crown
It’s all upside down
They’ll cry and they’ll mutter
Let them sing for their supper
We don’t need them any way.
[Bridge]
Pomp and splendour
Couldn’t surrender
the memory…
Of every crime committed
But the system kept record
Of every soul betrayed
And every sacrifice permitted
[Chorus]
They were haunted…
Some say cursed….
But you know what’s worse?
They thought it would last forever
As if suffering and pain
Could somehow explain
The meaning and purpose
Of life.
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Don't worry baby
Everything's gonna be alright
They are all held hostage
To a much higher power
One that doesn’t
charge by the hour
One that is patient
One that is thorough
One that simply waited
For you to discover...
Why you’re really here.
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
They were haunted
Some say cursed
But you know what’s worse?
They thought it would last forever
As if suffering and pain
Could somehow explain
The meaning and purpose
Of life.
[Outro]
