they're cracking the cross where they hammer the nail

pennies they laid on the windows that failed

not really gone, but I'm so far away

all of your prayers cried at once all too late

once you fall down, end the round

end the round



shades of my dark hour light where I lay

someone I don't know is passing my way

don't want to go, but I can't really stay

now I wait for this no one to take me away



given to the ground

end the round

tears are falling down

given to the ground

end the round



drums of the death marchers

drone through the day

the funeral flowers macabre disarray

fall to the tears and the dirt where they lay

now they've all come at once

and they've all come too late

given to the ground

end the round, end the round

end the round, end the round

end the round, end the round now

end the round, end the round

end the round
