lyrics

long before your angry eyes will open again
& long before your soul will rise like a helium balloon

i will drive up 75 in the cold winter wind
& i will pray that that awful day won't come anytime soon

pour out some brandy on the frost
& i'll drink one for your life and causes lost
but your spirit stays mad
it chases and it exhausts
i can't fight it, i can't fight it
i can't fight you off

i dirtied off my hands for you
though i'm neither tough nor brave nor true
the right thing, well, it didn't feel that right to do

i don't want to spend my whole life fighting
then just have death claim me too.

after today, i'm done - i'm done with that advice you gave, saying,
"ismene, only cowards stay to bury the brave"

well you've had your say.
now stay down there in your cave
and don't get up.
