Fallen Idols Lyrics

Someone said it years before
And today I know it�s true
Some dreams can�t help but die
Pinned to those that we looked up to

What about our children
And who�ll pray for tomorrow�s gods
And the pain and wisdom gained
From decades of moral decay

And the fallen idols
To me they�re still the same
And I pray they rest forever
But the new revival
Of the skeletal remains
Paints a dark and caustic future

Burned out like a dying sun
On alcohol and cheap romance
Where the junkies and the suicides
Believed inside they had a chance

We�re the kids in the shadows
Just beyond society�s eyes
Restless and pure of heart
They don�t understand so they despise

Hey troubadour we�re waiting for you
Will your words bring redemption for the times?
For all the faded reputations
The poets, the sinner and their crimes
