lyrics

I stand in line with other men, young and old
to get our fingers pricked, our fortunes told
Which card will it be?
We worry bout that nine of swords,
a nightmare calls to me with your last words
When you learned your lifeline was just a scar
that laid upon your palm
I think of days past, but why do I forget those days were
so many's last?

Would I be dead too
if I came of age with you?
Those were different times, and I'm alive in mine
do I know what that means?

And how would it be
if I was not taught to believe
every other man's love would poison me
eventually

Stories sunk into the ground
Teachers never had
Songs never sung
Stories sunk into that ground

Where did all these shadows come from?
From what light were they cast?

Would I be dead too
if I came of age with you?
