We stand here hopeless and battered
Carelessly led astray
Little comfort, what dies by the lightning
Is reborn in the rain
Go tell it all to the mornin'
There's no need to ask twice
Love without hesitation
Love with all your might
Though the horrors of the deep
Can't compete with your crimes
This old world will forgive you
One piece at a time
No bees makin' no honey
Since the queen fled the hive
You've got to deal with the traumas of time
If you wanna survive
Now the night is unraveling
And we're half way to Mars
There's no shortage of brutish ambition
In this furnace of stars
Though sometimes it feels helpless
It's at moments sublime
And this world will forgive you
One piece at a time
Though the horrors of the deep
Can't compete with your crimes
This old world will forgive you
It won't ever leave you
This world will forgive you
One piece at a time
