Down the years we don
Our crown of thorns
And bleed our dreams
On our life’s brittle page
Make our prayers to gods
Give our sacrifice
As though bargaining can make
Us rule this weary stage
Each year we find anew
A fresh perspective born
To don once more
This crown of thorns
Find brighter stars
To wish upon
Until we are gone
Until we are gone
