For My Confessor

All this I save for my confessor all this I'll tell you as we
fall
the black wing birds they shine their feathers they circle for
your curtain call
The lie will live forever now the poison in the lion's mouth
the war was never ours to be won
the border lies ahead of us we leave behind the best of us
the final call for all departing souls
All this I save for my confessor he knows my reasons to
deceive
They're tearing down the palace walls they drag you
through the burning halls
they tell you all they do they do for you...
You toe the lie and torch a crowd the flag becomes your
funeral shroud
they walk you to the wall and gag your mouth
They're tearing down the palace walls they drag you
through the burning halls
they tell you all they do they do for you...
