I see a cross   So rotting and sad   I see a flag   A bloody torn rag      Oh, the games we play   Oh, the lies we tell   Oh, the hearts that are broken   Between heaven and hell      And the stones will fall   Never to rise   And the world will shrug   And close her eyes      In this black night   In these jaws of steel   All our battles lost   Beneath an iron hill      Oh, what damned mankind   And all his woes   And I'd murder Cupid   With his bow      (chorus)      Across this earth   A poison seeps   From house to house   That plague does creep      With smiles and whispers   To blunt ourselves   With fools' gold   For our souls
