lyrics

You and your shaking hands
With their future at stake
Built a beautiful stage
On this piece of rotten earth
And all the actors practiced
Day in and day out
Reciting lines and hitting marks
All while sinking down

These are not my hands
On these hospital doors
The ancient seating, the older magazines
And we waited while you fought back
While you fought back so well

Your jaw and your shaking hands
Were both clenched as we watched you
Holding back all emotion
That dared to show on your face
When you left your father’s house
“I’ll be back in seventeen years.
I won’t go far I promise,
I’ll be underneath your feet.”

These are not my hands
On these hospital doors
The ancient seating, the older magazines
And we waited while you fought back
While you fought back so well
And we waited while you fought back
While you fought back so well

We all screamed
St. Alexius, St. Alexius
Here we are
St. Alexius, St. Alexius

We all screamed
St. Alexius, St. Alexius
Come save us
Here we are
St. Alexius, St. Alexius
Come save us

Come save us
