Only Child 3

[Verse 1]
In the war you severed the cord
You broke the line
You turned an only child
But just before you buried the blade
Your eyes betrayed
The spark of another one
Pure at heart
Another day our daily bread
Another night of the living dead
It’s like an ocean upon you
So you did what you did
And you said what you said
Put your pen to the page
And a gun to your head
Got it all worked out this time

[Hook]
Oh, but you can’t be sure they’re dead
Still the footsteps fall
In an empty hall
The voices echo in your head

[Verse 2]
And through the ashes raining down
Your eyes replied
They told a sordid tale
And when the fires
Barreled down the mountain side
I saw your senses fail
So I painted a word
In the dust where I bled
Signed the seal of the living dead
I’m looking down and upon you
So you did what you did
And you said what you said
Put your pen to the page
And a gun to your head
Got it all worked out this time
