The Old Capitol Cabal

[Verse] I've been reading forbidden texts I called God collect And said "I've done my best But our world is broken And I've ripped it open" And He told me "Goddamn it I gave you the fix" In the old forgotten texts Send it back Send it back Send it back now [Chorus] You're drifting too far from your home It's all too forgotten You're not on your own (what?) And that's how they got him That lost little boy He couldn't sit still He drifted too far from his home Down to the capital Back where the nightmares hide [Verse] When all was darkness and void Then You'll know you're home The gods can't destroy what they don't even know I trust not the Ulven that'll howl at the moon And die young like I will But we've got work to do [Pre-Chorus] In the old forgotten text Send it back Send it back Send it back now [Chorus] You're drifting too far from your home (Mother, did you know they'd accuse you of this?) It's all too forgotten (Father, did you know they'd accuse you of this?) You're not on your own (Sister, did you know they'd accuse you of this?) I am not alone (Brother, did you know they'd accuse you of this?) Send it back Send it back Send it back now (No one left unchanged in the Capital) Send it back Send it back now You — rip off the priest I'll rob the cradle (the cradle, the cradle) Caught in a dream Backwards We fable the future [Bridge] In the old forgotten texts Send it back Send it back Send it back now Settle the debts Settle the debts Settle the debts and go
