lyrics

your first taste of glory, the feelings it stirs
the indiscriminate massacres
you can change your name, but you can't make it all go away
keep on the move, spend whole years sleeping in tents
pray someday to be buried at the public expense
you're still the same little shit you were on your seventeenth birthday

pretend you know what you're doing, keep on pretending
think of all the good people who died defending
you, and brace yourself against surrender
suffer terrible losses, survive anyway
but what's gonna happen to you on the day
when you finally lose your last and best defender?

and i ran into your brother at the altar of peace
well you know what he's like, he did as he pleased
and he told me just exactly what he thought of me
he reminded me of you, he asked a lot of me

and i was so tired i could barely talk
the sun shone through the glass and glanced off the white rock
you try to let go the past and make it on your own
but it lasts like a building, like an etching in stone

and i ran into your brother and the bells in rome
sounded like the choirs of angels and i wanted to go home
for so long i fought what i thought were my enemies
then the lights came on and they were only memories
