So cold and so alone  
As the flowers slowly die  
In my field of little bones

I see bones.  
I see gizzards and bones,  
And a few kidney stones  
Among the lovely bones.

Hearing of great civil war  
Saxons to Britain did pour  
from the North and the East,  
Arthur’s Court; Death to feast -  
the Last Battle, soon to be lost.

Is this the real life, or is this fantasy?  
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.  
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see…

I should’ve known you would stand me up  
Why did I even go now?  
And I guess it goes to show  
The sun may melt the ice, but it runs right down the drain  
You left me you left me you left me you left me  
You left me standing in the rain
