Five Iron Frenzy Spartan
Billie Holiday on the radio my sluggish heart is beating seven beats too slow cold and unconcerned are anything but new another sad song and another shot of blue He said Love endures all things?and it hurts to think Hes right If I mark the span of failure is his burden just as light? Chorus: I am, Spartan Jesus close my heart so tight from myself tonight Save me theres a knowing look or two Limping through the world Why is love so painful is it just the cripples here why do we always lose who understand the truth? the bitter, and recluse? paving pathways for the lost did it nail Him on a cross He said Love endures all things?and it hurts to think its true The angels are singing over the plains did it crucify Him too? And all of our slogans designed to take away the pain the shepherds are quaking, echoing refrains meant nothing to the Son of God that night in Bethlehem
