A Few Words for The Dead — текст песни (marillion)

Can you make it on your own

Can you take it by the throat

Make your own luck - learn the skills

Get in early

For the kill



It carries on



Pick up the weapon

Marry it. give it your name

Define yourself by it

Take it down the disco



Trigger happy

Pulling power

Ladykiller

Take em out



See the weirdos

On the hill

Come to get you

If you stand still



It carries on..



Somewhere in history

You were wronged

Raise your children

To bang the drum



Tell all your family

Tell all your friends

Teach your brothers

To avenge



It carries on



Or you could love...

You could love



Lie down in the flowers

In the blue of the air

Open your eyes. why use up your life for anything else?

No need to fight for what everyone has

What do you need?

Its already there

Its already there



You could love



So he carried the stars in his pocket

He drank the sunrise till was drunk

He embraced the angels

They swam like little minnows in his blood

Ghosts in his eyes

Out walking beside him

Laughing like children in his mind

They chanted his mantra together

"you could love"



They were happy.
