One By One

One by one our defenses were foiled
In the turning of the soil new bodies were forged
And we burned our last bridge
Cast all memories into the gorge
And it was never our intent
To carry the torch of our fathers' dissent
And it won't pass between
Our trembling hands anymore
And I know you care a lot
But who would dare impart
Such a stupid thought
On such a callow heart
So let's make a break for the west wall and run
One by one our defenses were foiled
In the turning of the soil new bodies were forged
And we burned our last bridge
Cast all memories into the gorge
Oh you're banging your head
Searching for subtext, you should take it as read
Leave the waking dead
To put their restless remains to bed
And I know you care a lot
But who would dare impart
Such a stupid thought
On such a callow heart
So let's make a break for the west wall and run
And It's easy to feel lost
When you're tied to the helm
Of a ship so far off course
It's overwhelming I know
So Maybe the answer's to just let go
Let it go
No, no we got it wrong
Why should we be the ones to just fall along?
Playing dumb just to belong
And I know you care a lot
But who would dare impart
Such a stupid thought
On such a callow heart
So let's make a break for the west wall and run
