10,000 Marbles - Remember My Name lyrics

No truer plea has ever been Than what, through David, we've seen His turn from a life of frustration To embrace love's condemnation Better to let love lie Than have to see it die It's better to be alone Than feel your heart turn to stone The flower grows just for the seed The (?) bloom the honey bee Shouldn't a free man's soul rise Above these ravenous designs of love? Better to be born blind Than to see and then lose sight Better a desolate peace Than to fight with your memories So take my heart to your grave It just pumps cold blood through my veins I lost it all in fate's game Only the devil remembers my name Only a foolish heart concedes to fate And the trials and turns that it dictates The only love that will never die Is the love you always deny Like a barb it clings Loss forever stings The pain will never leave Love is a cruel disease Like a wick that holds to the flame The path to her started the blaze The match you made is to blame The steps to love and d**h were the same Now that you've loved and lost Would you repay the cost? A price so severe If you'd never loved her she'd be here So take my heart to your grave It just pumps cold blood through my veins I lost it all in fate's game Only the devil remembers my name (x2)
