I Saw A Man Die [CU Version]

[Verse 1] Today I saw a man die, His heart just torn out, One second it's beating then it's not Today I saw a man die, His heart just torn out, One second it's beating then it's not. (Its something that cannot be forgott-en) [Verse 2] It reminds me, That the Gods, Of Olympia, or Rome, Can take all this away, One whim, And we're gone. [Verse 3] There's a fragility to us, It's why we feel we need protection, From something other than us, Shields in the sky, But do our prayers reach that high? [Chorus1 ] One day, I pray, To whatever cosmic deity is listening, (Is it Okami? Or Thor, Or Zeus, Or some other godlike muse) Or watching over us, If there will be an end, To the battles, That try to slay us. [Chorus 2] Will we ever be able, To put our weapons down, Or are we like gladiators, In an arena, this city, Destined to fight, (On and on) Forever, And after, And however long [Verse 4] One night, We'll cease to fight, And can lie down together at peace. You and me, Blissful, In eternity. [Verse 5[] I'm not saying I'm tired, Just exhausted, By the loss, Of those we hold precious to our hearts. (It's an unbearable cost] [Verse 6] There's nothing I can do, To compensate, The damage caused. (Maybe the gods think we're the dangerous ones?) [Chorus] One day, I pray, To whatever cosmic deity is listening, (Is it Ray-den, Or Die-on-y-sus, Cause, he's sometimes suss, And he likes to mess with this) Or watching over us, If there will be an end, To the battles, That try to slay us. [Chorus 2] Will we ever be able, To put our weapons down, Or are we like gladiators, In an arena, this city, Destined to fight, (On and on) Forever, And after, And however long [Verse 7] Today I saw a man die, His heart just torn out, One second it's beating then it's not Today I saw a man die, His heart just torn out, One second it's beating then it's not. [Deep breath in] (Its something that cannot be forgot-ten]
