Carry on, my child Though your feet are ****** And your hair matted Trudge forward... Through mud, through fire Let your flesh burn and peel Allow agony to suckle at the breast of your will When you breathe, your lungs will ache When you walk, your legs will shake You will hobble to the feet of comfort and collapse... Only to be turned away My dear child, you are drunk and foolish I have nothing to offer you but a shallow grave Haven't you known this is only a game? A pawn is a pawn, just the same

Carry on, my child Though your feet are ****** And your hair matted Trudge forward... Through mud, through fire Let your flesh burn and peel Allow agony to suckle at the breast of your will When you breathe, your lungs will ache When you walk, your legs will shake You will hobble to the feet of comfort and collapse... Only to be turned away My dear child, you are drunk and foolish I have nothing to offer you but a shallow grave Haven't you known this is only a game? A pawn is a pawn, just the same
