Fallen Idols Lyrics - Singles - Only Crime

Someone said it years before 

And today I know it's true 

Some dreams can't help but die 

Pinned to those that we looked up to 

What about our children 

And who'll pray for tomorrow's gods 

And the pain and wisdom gained 

From decades of moral decay 

And the fallen idols 

To me they're still the same 

And I pray they rest forever 

But the new revival 

Of the skeletal remains 

Paints a dark and caustic future 

Burned out like a dying sun 

On alcohol and cheap romance 

Where the junkies and the suicides 

Believed inside they had a chance 

We're the kids in the shadows 

Just beyond society's eyes 

Restless and pure of heart 

They don't understand so they despise 

Hey troubadour we're waiting for you 

Will your words bring redemption for the times? 

For all the faded reputations 

The poets, the sinner and their crimes
