Transit in the Ryes - 1st of December Lyrics

I perked up my ears when I heard your name
I perked up my ears when our spirits gave
And I would love to see
Your soul standing next to me
And when you're looking back on the tough side of life
It's the first day of december
And on the marching beat stands aside in the crowd
A lone pretender
And when you're looking back on the first sight of life
It's the first day of december
They took our truths and sold them as lies, but they're
Too old to even remember
My left wing broke
When I saw the shining knight
My left wing broke
In the middle of the night
And this empire won't stand a chance
If it's built on free labour
And old Herzog at first glance
Thought this empire would be his son's saviour
And when you're looking back on the tough side of life
It's the first day of december
And on the marching beat stands aside in the crowd
A lone pretender
And when you're looking back on the first sight of life
It's the first day of december
We've done our wrongdoings but we can tell who's
The main offender
And when you're looking back on the tough side of life
It's the first day of december
And when you're looking back on the tough side of life
It's the first day of december
And when you're looking back on the tough side of life
It's the first day of december
And when you're looking back on the tough side of life
It's the first day of december
And when you're looking back on the tough side of life
It's the first day of december
And on the marching beat stands aside in the crowd
A lone pretender
And when you're looking back on the first sight of life
It's the first day of december
They took our truths and sold them as lies, but they're
Too old to even remember
