lyrics

you see them sometimes
through the lies
you can sense it
with the best
with steady eyes on the horizon
and certain steps through the mess

if you listened close
you will have heard
their secret song of common words
that match the crest
on their sleeves and on their chest
they sing

ohh we will keep marching on
ohh with voices in song
ohh we will keep marching on
until we're gone
until we're gone

we know the whistle in the wind
will refuse to make a deal
it betrays who it can find
and takes what it can steal
as epidemic as the night
we all feel it just the same
growing colder until it bites
at the ears
and the jugular vein

I never thought
it would be this hard
it would draw this blood
it would take this long
unless something fundamental
had gone deeply wrong
but we carry it on our backs
either way
however we play the curse
arranging scars into words
of a final broken verse

ohh we will keep marching on
ohh with voices in song
ohh we will keep marching on
until we're gone
until we're gone

some day you'll
want to be
want to be
something and
some day you'll
want to be
want to be
someone
some day you'll
want to go
want to go
somewhere
some day you'll
want to be
you'll want to be something more
