If we could only take
What we have witnessed
Never minding the sickness
Nor the chorus of mistrust
That keeps up bound
And gagged to nowhere
Leaving us with one prayer
And do with as we must
It's an illusion
Yes, an illusion
Of verses with fumbling rhyme
But we mustn't forget, dear
We won't elude them every time
Carry me, my love
Oh, to the west side
Where we won't have
All contempt
For everyone
Who thinks us nervous
And that there is no purpose
For every time we've wept
And people
They're just people
We shall pay them the respect they're owed
But we mustn't forget, dear
We'll just be paying them back what we stole
And when the light
That we believed in
Starts to weaken
And will adrift in the dark
And every fire
We had ignited
Is no longer lighted
Not even a single spark
And when our paddle
Yes, when our paddle
Has fallen from beneath our grip
We mustn't forget, dear
It's our duty to go down with the ship
Deliver us not for the path we take
But deliver us
