lyrics

We didn’t have to sleep
So we fought the war, every hour of every day.
Centuries of consciousness,
I’ve seen what that does to a person, so what about me?

So I try my best to honour you
In whatever way I can,
I’ll bring up all your armies, and the darkness will be crushed
By my hand, by my hand, by my hand.

Wonder, in the twilight minutes
Whether or not you knew you would succeed.
Festering anger in my sword
Biting til it can no longer feed –

Yeah, I try my best to honour you
In whatever way I can,
But you were sacrificed for mercy, and I saw sovereignty
Changing hands, changing hands, changing hands.

And why couldn’t I be the one you fought for?
What did I do that wasn’t enough?
I’m sick of Earth, and these mere mortals
Rising from dust and withering from love
And why did you want him more than me?
What did you stand to lose?
What did he have that I couldn’t give? Yeah,
what did he have that I would have given you?

But I try my best to honour you
In whatever way I can,
Your glories and your memory will be nurtured tenderly
By my hand, by my hand, by my hand.

Yeah, I try my best to honour you
In whatever way I can,
Your legions will be silenced, sentenced to a drowsy life,
By my hand, by my hand, by my hand.
