lyrics

Here is the child, playing with toys: dolls for the little girls, guns for the boys. Dungarees torn, ambition is frayed. Here is the child, digging his grave.
Here is the woman, makeup in hand, perched at the mirror. Called on demand. Trying to salvage what cannot be saved. Here is the woman, digging her grave.
Here is the painter, swallowing lead, with every image losing his head. Using a brush but it cuts like a blade. Here is the artist, digging his grave.
Here is the sculptor, breaking his bones. Chisel in hand, lifting the stone, but times wields a mallet. He cannot be saved. Here is the sculptor, digging his grave.
Here is the hunter, lost in the night, building a fire that just will not light. Ambition and pride have led him astray. Here is the hunter, digging his grave.
Here is the soldier, throat getting slit. Here is the plumber, covered in shit. Without exception, no one is saved. Here is the worker, digging his grave.
Markers stand like empty hands along a roadside ditch, and every night brings darkness as though someone’s thrown a switch.
