Remains of the day The sun is sinking faster now A child came out to play a while But had not much to gain somehow He found the shady trails He learnt the ways to bend the law To sink demons in the Holy Grail He saw it pay off big somehow Is silence what he gets? When his questions cut like guillotines The crossroad is a dangerous zone If means to power is your quest He saw their hollow grins From TV screens around the globe They looked the other way and smiled As the 3rd world dangled on the rope Heartbroken and confused He looked behind his back He thought he heard a laughing crowd As icy winds came down his track He wished he was a rock He wished he was a President A someone who was firm & strong, And solid in his sentiments He must believe in Love That the sky will eat the dirt somehow The sky blue bleeds into the black The ma**es eat their holy cow He saw he had a choice To make it to his better side The Devil holds the borderlines But the shield of Love will hold up high Remains of the day
