We Are Forsaken

[Slow bango intro] [Verse 1] It aint like you see on those city stage lights Oh the secret it holds in the dead of night Secrets no one ever wants to show Hospitality is left untold Burned into our eyes, no one even makes it out alive [Verse 2] The old turn to dust and the young grow old No one ever leaves, but everyone goes This kind of living ain't for us all But sooner or later, you'll have to pick up the call [Chorus, emotional] No one ever tells the truth, all without some proof Devil hiding in the old church roof Crows a flying, higher than that corner As the sirens play for the mourner Cause all we need here is the miracle The golden arch ain't here no more [Fiddle and Banjo] [Verse 3] Days are gone and night has come No longer the saints of ol', gave it all away for a pot of gold Time was here and we gave it some Here and now, we forever burn As the red sea won't ever churn [Chorus, emotional] No one ever tells the truth, all without some proof Devil hiding in the old church roof Crows a flying, higher than that corner As the sirens play for the mourner Cause all we need here the miracle The golden arch ain't here no more [Banjo and Fiddle] [Verse 4] All these sinners in the land of God Praising his name, hoping for a glimmer No longer a soul a light, fighting for the high Cause we all fell from his grace, and now we forever try [Bridge] Hell is the home you and I call The fall of magnolias with that little white church As we all flee from his words of fall We climb and try, but we still end up on that oak wood porch Drowned in that river where he set us free
