MANIC STREET PREACHERS
"Doors Closing Slowly"
Realise how lonely this is?
Self-defeating, oh, fuck yeah
Drowned in love and false kisses
A gathering of no meaning
The shadow is the cross OK
Judgement must be willing today
Silence is not sacrifice
Crucifixion is the easy life
Who threw the first stone?
If the stone is you
Forgive them, forsaken
Bleeding feet an angel's saviour
The shadow is the cross OK
Judgement must be willing today
Silence is not sacrifice
Crucifixion is the easy life
Embrace to betrayal
Unarmed army salvation
Listen to the selfish ones
They are the voice of accomplishment
In the end, we had pieces of the puzzle but no matter how we put them together, gaps remained. Oddly-shaped emptiness mapped by what surrounded them, like countries we couldn't name.
