Wolf of the Rapacious Herd - The Simplest Lesson

Of course I believed it all
Words were passing over your lips
We sat in the park and stared at the water
Passing under the ships
I turned the screw cap on the wine
And drank while you read aloud
In the distance we heard the horns
The perfect cause, a perfect crowd
A smile to match those lips
I thought I heard what they said
Then came the perfect movie ending
With the lovers in bed
On a promise of something great
You slept while I stared at the night
In a week I'd be praying for
A gun to my head and a bed to ignite
Every whisper clips
The top of the trees
Every syllable a lie
Every word you said to me
Will mark-off the hours 'til the day that I die
'Til I die
Every whisper clips
The top of the trees
Every syllable a lie
Every word you said to me
Will mark-off the hours 'til the day that I die
'Til I die
The end to all I thought was right
They'll never be a new dawn
I couldn't learn the simplest lesson
Words aren't worth the spit they're written on
Oh no
Oh no
