Lyrics

Devastation at last, finally we meet
After all of these years out here on the street
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
And I've been overthrown, I'm overthrown
I thought if I told the right lines
But these smoking bars won't let me shine
Devastation, my door was left open wide
You brought me into your heart and swallowed my pride
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
I made a note to myself I nearly forgot
And now I'm overwrought, I'm overwrought
And I thought if I told the right lines
But these smoking bars won't let me shine
I thought if I told the right lines
But these smoking bars won't let me shine
One day this ground will break
And open up for me
I hope it will, I hope it will
I thought if I told the right lines
But these smoking bars won't let me shine
I thought if I told the right lines
But these smoking bars won't let me shine
Salutation at last, down on my knees
I heard the bugle this morn, "Bless Reveille"
Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm
All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to the helm
And now I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed
And I thought if I told the right lines
But these smoking bars won't let me shine
