The pride you never took
Was the descent of an innocent man
The case you left behind
And never opened was gold
Pretty sure they never hear a word you say
The voice you never carried is a whisper away
And now it's down to
What's round the hour?
Can it be tolerated?
This leaning tower is coming down real fast
The ones that are
Companions, brave and glorious
Fighting our battles
We alone would never have won
Our chances are beyond the hope of any luck
'Cause we are spares
Waiting for the hardest work to be done
There's no protection from the shade
You can't escape once you're a target of theirs
You stand your ground and
Lay your trust in their hands
The very moment there is nowhere to stand
And then you're back to
The roaring thunder
That numbs your thoughts
And drowns your voice
And you go under
And there's nobody there
The ones that are
Companions, brave and glorious
Fighting our battles
We alone would never have won
Our chances are beyond the hope of any luck
'Cause we are spares
Waiting for the hardest work to be done
(Yeah)
The ones that are
Companions, brave and glorious
Fighting our battles
We alone would never have won
Our chances are beyond the hope of any luck
'Cause we are spares
Waiting for the hardest work to be done
(Ooo-ooo)
(Ooo-ooo)
