THE ORPHAN, THE POET LYRICS

"Turncoat"

Beat your arms against your chest in reparation of your fear. And we will march until death, ‘til our conscience disappears. Just take up your arms, and we’ll be heroes by the dawn. To the victor goes the spoils but is it truth we’re fighting for? To the victor goes his keep of not gold but enemies. And you’ll speak so cavalier to cast deceit into the wind. Fear you not their swords and spears, they’ll fall like petals from your skin. Just take up your arms, and we’ll be heroes by the dawn. But open your eyes and you’ll see we’re villains by tonight. If we’d be more than all that we’ve seen we’d be more than ordinary. And we would make it through to daybreak. Dreaming we see all that we’ll be when kindness knows our minds. But time will reveal all that we steal finding meaning in our lives.
