lyrics

You looked at him with your sunken eyes
Too damn hungry for despair or surprise
Still you cried aloud as they harshly barked your name
Drops of rain on a rusting wire
Not a heartbeat not a sigh of desire
Too much anguish, too much fear for shame

I'm not where I wanted to be,
Somebody had another plan for me.

What was I supposed to do?
For my kind it was nothing new
To trade my place for a man of lesser worth
Did you see him did you see his expression
As he gaped and he made his final inspection
Of a man not broken not guarded for his birth?

So here I lie like a broken stone
If I can help it, sure I won't die alone
You sent me down here, don't discard me now
You raise me up now you lay me down
Grace my head with your crimson crown
The glory's mine and I only wonder how.
