I was on a pavement as you blew your candles out
I was digging trenches while you sailed above the ground
We were all the victims of a plot to banish time
Those who saw the demon took an oath to hold the line
There was you with all you sought
Foes you held and friends you fought
There was me
Another sword in your mutiny
I was dressed in colours while they fitted you in white
I could hear your laughter as you glided through the night
Words have made me bitter so I clear them from my tongue
I will have to show you that our privileges are won
There was you with all you sought
Foes you held and friends you fought
There was me
Another sword in your mutiny
You opened your eyes to the earth
But the critics took your feet
You traded your throne for the dirt
And the teachers you would meet
I asked for skin not the soul
Now I'm nothing
There was you with all you sought
Foes you held and friends you fought
There was me
Another sword in your mutiny
There was you with all you sought
Foes you held and friends you fought
There was me
Another sword in your mutiny
In your mutiny
In your mutiny
