A Few Words For The Dead Lyrics by Marillion

A Few Words For The Dead Lyrics

    Can you make it on your own
    Can you take it by the throat
    Make your own luck - learn the skills
    Get in early
    For the kill

    It carries on

    Pick up the weapon
    Marry it. give it your name
    Define yourself by it
    Take it down the disco

    Trigger happy
    Pulling power
    Ladykiller
    Take em out

    See the weirdos
    On the hill
    Come to get you
    If you stand still

    It carries on..

    Somewhere in history
    You were wronged
    Raise your children
    To bang the drum

    Tell all your family
    Tell all your friends
    Teach your brothers
    To avenge

    It carries on

    Or you could love...
    You could love

    Lie down in the flowers
    In the blue of the air
    Open your eyes. why use up your life for anything else?
    No need to fight for what everyone has
    What do you need?
    It's already there
    It's already there

    You could love

    So he carried the stars in his pocket
    He drank the sunrise till was drunk
    He embraced the angels
    They swam like little minnows in his blood
    Ghosts in his eyes
    Out walking beside him
    Laughing like children in his mind
    They chanted his mantra together
    "you could love"

    They were happy.
