Cut to the Ending

Now we're left to pick up the pieces

Shovel up the shards

'Cause a fool won't listen to reason

'Til he's gone too far

'Til he's gone too far

And some just want a king

They didn't come here to sing

But if you cut to the ending

History is told by an old man

Who survived the wars

Little talk of spineless enablers

Ones who held the door

And knelt to kiss a ring

Held onto power

By any means

But if you cut to the ending

I've seen some ugliness

Some terror in my days

I'd love to think we've seen the end

But when you think you've got the lid on, here it comes

The same old ghosts are back again

Now we're left to pick up the pieces

In this house of cards

But we must not speak of treason

That is where we are

And some just want a king

They didn't come here to sing

But if you cut to the ending

Cut to the ending
