Fallen Idols Lyrics by Only Crime
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Someone said it years before
And today I know it's true
Some dreams can't help but die
Pinned to those that we looked up to

What about our children
And who'll pray for tomorrow's gods
And the pain and wisdom gained
From decades of moral decay

And the fallen idols
To me they're still the same
And I pray they rest forever
But the new revival
Of the skeletal remains
Paints a dark and caustic future

Burned out like a dying sun
On alcohol and cheap romance
Where the junkies and the suicides
Believed inside they had a chance

We're the kids in the shadows
Just beyond society's eyes
Restless and pure of heart
They don't understand so they despise

Hey troubadour we're waiting for you
Will your words bring redemption for the times?
For all the faded reputations
The poets, the sinner and their crimes
Someone said it years before   And today I know it's true   Some dreams can't help but die   Pinned to those that we looked up to      What about our children   And who'll pray for tomorrow's gods   And the pain and wisdom gained   From decades of moral decay      And the fallen idols   To me they're still the same   And I pray they rest forever   But the new revival   Of the skeletal remains   Paints a dark and caustic future      Burned out like a dying sun   On alcohol and cheap romance   Where the junkies and the suicides   Believed inside they had a chance      We're the kids in the shadows   Just beyond society's eyes   Restless and pure of heart   They don't understand so they despise      Hey troubadour we're waiting for you   Will your words bring redemption for the times?   For all the faded reputations   The poets, the sinner and their crimes
