New Model Army - Far Better Thing Lyrics
In the white washed cancer ward with my hot blood running wildI see the pain behind your eyes and the search for a reasonAnd the knowing and the fear of the passing seasonNow please give me strength to cut and to keep our secretPlease give me strange to cutCh: That the things we love may remain here stillThere is time to wait and there's a time to killI see your outstretched hand through the closing doorBut it's a far better thing I do than I have done beforeAnd so it seems that murder's not so hard - I've eaten flesh and blood each dayAnd if I believe the things I write through the passing seasonThen with a rifle in my hand and with a thousand reasonsI'll wait, far above the crowd in the summer sunshineAnd history changes now, foreverThat the things we love may remain here stillThere is time to wait and there's a time to killFrom the barren land come the seeds of warSo it's a far better thing that I do than I have done before
