about

From Dancing in Death/The Place Where the River Makes a Sound

lyrics

Ordinary men
The right place, the wrong time
You get to decide where the devil lives
You get to decide who the devil is

Ordinary men
The wrong place, the right time
You don't get to hide behind circumstance
You don't get to lie about blood romance

In the rhyming of history we are creatures of subtlety
Can we consider things with the slow regard silence brings?

Ordinary men
You'll be the same until you're well and truly dead
Ordinary men
You've seen your way and tried to be truly well read
Ordinary men
An inherited heritage of catastrophe
Ordinary men
You will rewrite the missive that your children will read

In the rhyming of history we are creatures of subtlety
Can we consider things with the slow regard silence brings?

Take your time, plot a graph
Use the courage of your convictions
Up in flames, a giraffe
Where once was innocence distilled
Taste the shame of the last laugh
Use the courage of your convictions
Write the name of the last
Where once was innocence distilled

Take your time, plot a graph
Use the courage of your convictions
Up in flames, a giraffe
Where once was innocence distilled
Taste the shame of the last laugh
Use the courage of your convictions
Speak the name of the last
Where once was innocence distilled

Say their names
Speak their names
Write their names
Say their names
Write their names
Speak their names
Say their names

Who once were innocence distilled
