Anthem for a Lost Cause

It&`&s a cold and lonely message At the end of a song It invaded hearts and minds But they couldn&`&t get along It can ask you to remember It can ask you for a dance So it seems that every song Now is just one last chance Take this, it&`&s yours An anthem for a lost cause Now ashes, bone and splinter What once was a glittering prize The composition rites Oh redemption, love and departure I think your work is done Paris, St. Petersburg don&`&t need a tower of song Escape&`&s not worth the capture So walk that lonesome road No joy or earthly rapture Nothing to take the load Take this, it&`&s yours An anthem for a lost cause Now ashes, bone and splinter What once was a glittering prize The composition rites Take this, it&`&s yours An anthem for a lost cause Now ashes, bone and splinter What once was a glittering prize The composition rites ...Yours… ...Cause… Take this, it&`&s yours An anthem for a lost cause Now ashes, bone and splinter What once was a glittering prize The composition rites
