Misfortunate Sons - Left Behind Lyrics
The tempest crept up on usLike a ghost who’d angrily returnedTo finish what he’d started years agoIt tore through every cityUp the east coast of the countryLeaving once opulent landscapes in pure ruin How can we move on after this?Who will rebuild what we have lost?There’s nothing left but sadness hereAnd none of this will disappearEvery oak has been uprootedMaybe they all just stood too rigidTo withstand the mighty windsIf they had just looked to the willowSeen it bowing in the breezeThey might have learned that all they neededWas to just let go And all this time, it’s been that simpleEven with the damage doneA hope stays planted firmly in the groundIt knew the storm was comingIt had to know that change was nearIt had to know... It had to know... If you let the past ownEverything that’s present,And the paradigm controlsEvery move you makeYou’ll be left behindAnd left for dead
