None But I
Who set this doubt in motion?
Who brought the pillars down?
Who made an empty promise of my town?
Who rose to meet the morning?
Who learned the river's name?
Who told us that our blood was not the same?
Who set the heart's a-reeling?
Who lead the push and shove?
Who told us that our best was not enough?
"Oh, not me," said the one in waiting
"Not me," said the rising tide
"Not me," said the dying martyr, no da-da
Who kept the blooded arrows?
The relics and the shepherd's staff?
Who turned the true believer to the fatted calf?
Who knew before we started?
How this would all play out
Who took the sense of reason from our minds?
"Oh not me," said the solider marching
"Not me," said the bluer blood
"Not me," said the givers of beauty
"No not us"
"Oh not me," said the great homecoming
"Not me," said the dying light
"Not me," said the fading empire
It's none but I
None but I
None but I
None but I
None but I
Who made an empty promise?
Who left us where we stand?
Who knew the thoughts that counted at the time?
Who wrote the book of changes?
Who takes the others down?
Who hung the flag of empire above our town?
None but I
None but I
None but I
None but I
Always remember
Always remember yourself
Always remember
Always remember where you're from
Always remember
Always remember yourself
Always remember
Always remember where you're from
Always remember
Always remember yourself
Always remember
Always remember yourself
Always remember
Always remember where you from
Always remember
Always remember yourself
Always remember
Always remember yourself
Always remember
Always remember where you're from
Always remember
Always remember yourself
