What a Shame

Lyrics

[Intro] With a heavy heart and a black mark on my soul This burden's a bastard that we have all known In a world without heroes, just abandoned thrones All is gone, all is gone (All is gone) [Verse] While gangs of the ignorant extol their intolerance Sweeping the streets while preaching their nonsense Your soul is on fire, your world is in flames What a shame, what a shame What a shame to behold This act's getting old Pack up the tents and send the circus home Move it on down the line, a catastrophic pantomime The last to know, the first in line time after time [Chorus] Life in a pile of ashes Plight of the vile and disastrous [Verse] While gangs of the ignorant extol their intolerance Sweeping the streets while preaching their nonsense Your soul is on fire, your world is in flames What a shame, what a shame What a shame to behold This act's getting old Pack up the tents and send the circus home Move it on down the line, a catastrophic pantomime The last to know, the first in line time after time [Chorus] Life in a pile of ashes Plight of the vile and disastrous [Bridge] While you're praying For a savior Anticipating Awaiting their failure Cross the T's and dot the I's Another Christ to crucify These filthy hands and guilty eyes Blind concubine [Outro] With a heavy heart and a black mark on my soul This burden's a bastard that we have all known In a world without heroes, just abandoned thrones All is gone, all is gone (All is gone) With a heavy heart and a black mark on my soul This burden's a bastard that we have all known In a world without heroes, just abandoned thrones All is gone, all is gone (All is gone)
