lyrics

saddest waltz

we had all the time in the world
to watch the search-lights shine upon
your ramshackle boats as they drifted and dived

shame on our bitter hearts
empty as the promises we knew we’d never keep

we waltzed while your cities burned
drank wine whilst you choked
and i sang at the top of my voice
we slept through your tragedies
safe behind our walls
and pretended you were part of our world

we had all the time in the world
to stand silent as pirates sold off
sons and daughters like meat at the side of the
road

we’ve become lonely satellites
distant from the real stars, new gods up on high

we waltzed while your cities burned
drank wine whilst you choked
and i sang at the top of my voice
we slept through your tragedies
safe behind our walls
and sent the next wolves to your door

we had it easier than most
can’t tell you why
everything we touch now is growing cold
now we tell you we told you so
no better than the devils you know

we waltzed while your cities burned
drank wine whilst you choked
and i sang at the top of my voice
we slept through your tragedies
safe behind our walls
and pretended you were part of our world
