Oh, ashes to ashes, your dust into dust Telling yourself that you do what you must, anything to keep your kingdom's trust, monarch eternal as we slowly rust How much is too much, just what is the cost? To keep up this faded and cursed omelas? We lived, and we died, so that you could pause time We hope you enjoyed your last subject's applause One, two, three You need sa-cri-fice To seal your damned demons away 'Cause pain and death, it's fine as long as this kingdom's mine live to see just one more day Please, just one more try i've got it this time 'cause there's no cost too great Think of the future Think of the past Do you remember Do you regret? Think of your children, think of your men Someday you'll have to pay up your debt Try to forget us We dare you to try, 'cause we will remind you: This isn't goodbye Look to the future, look to the past! Do you remember, your graveyard? Silently, slowly, we keep up the fight Given some time, we just might set things right We try, and we try, to climb up to the light With corpses beneath you, do you sleep at night? Way up above lies your chosen pure knight The only one spared was the one with no mind For you, for your heart, for your love, did they lie? Pretend all is fine as their mind rots inside One, two, three You need sa-cri-fice To keep your damned demons away 'Cause pain and death, it's fine as long as this kingdom's mine live to see just one more day Please, just one more try i've got it this time 'cause there's no cost too great! Think of the future Think of the past Do you remember Do you regret? Think of your children, think of your men Someday you'll have to pay up your debt Try to forget us We dare you to try, 'cause we will remind you: This isn't goodbye Think of the future! Think of the past! Do you remember, your graveyard? Our voices will cry out a-gain!
