Intro The rain the pain ,the sugar the shame , The silver the king ,the gangster the sin, Some blame some poison No champagne in the coffin ⸻ Verse 1 This one’s for you who fell in the dark This one’s for the ghosts in my heart This one’s for those behind walls This one’s for the ones I can’t call ⸻ Pre-Chorus Live hard, die young, stand tall Be strong, take a hit from the bong It’s not the same When all’s missing’n gone ⸻ Chorus This is for the lost, the sons of Cain The ones kicking daisies in the rain For the ones who loved but stayed in pain We survived the dark, but we’re not the same ⸻ Verse 2 To the smiles before the shadows Before the days of borrowed tomorrows Neglected young boys with different faces Connected like brothers from different places Protected each other in a smoky haze No glory, no grace, just an endless chase Still nothing can bring back those days ⸻ Bridge Brother, why did you end it all alone Why can’t you leave when you’re gone I still remember funny faces stoned My friend, if we could do it all again The only thing I’d change Is the beginning of the end ⸻ Chorus This is for the lost, the sons of Cain The ones kicking daisies in the rain For the ones who loved but stayed in pain We survived the dark, but we’re not the same ⸻ Verse 3 Did it all go wrong before it began I stared down the barrel of a gun It’s an easy way when all’s heavy My world is gone, I guess that’s lonely ⸻ Final Chorus This is for the lost, the sons of Cain The ones kicking daisies in the rain For the ones who loved but stayed in pain We survived the dark, but we’re not the same ⸻ Outro/fading We might not have done much right I never learned from a 20/20 hindsight Still in the dark Something’s bright
