Casting Out Before We Die
I’m the arrogant son of the light brigade
stupid and rash but incredibly brave
and I’m not bowing down to anyone now
I’ve tried bitterness fear and a lot of shame
they did me no good and it ended the same
no I’m not giving in the story’s about to begin
so save your breath you haven’t seen anything yet
it’s the further we go it’s the further we get
it’s the way we survive and never need to regret
a single day of what we’ve created
before we die
this is all I have I’m not letting it go
heart on my sleeve and a foot in the door
no I’m not giving in the story’s about to begin
be you gods or masters gather round
you can run me out of this whole damn town
but I’m not bowing down to anybody now
