[ Featuring the Deserters ]
You'd live an extra day
If you broke his heart tonight
If you made a subtle change
You could live a double life
You'll be swimming in the sea
While tower's coming down
You'll be standing in your tree
When they drive him out of town
In the cradle of the hours
That you carve out from the lie
You could bloom into a power
You can see beyond your eyes
In the yellowing of years
When you mark your final breath
You could sacrifice your fear
For an everlasting death
There's a way to make a trade
You can move these things around
There's a way to be repaid
If you buy his silence now
You'll be standing on the shore
When the lightning cleaves the rock
You'll be happy and secure
As the second strikes the clock
Don't you go to him and cry
That you can't fulfill the terms
You must do as you designed
It can never be unlearned
You'll be drowning in the sea
While the tower's coming down
You'll be hanging from your tree
When they drag him out of town
