LYRICS: The Coward

Lyrics written by Marcus Matthews (ASCAP)

WHEN THE BRAVE RETURNED FROM WAR
AND THEY GRASPED WHAT I HAD DONE
THEY FELL UPON THEIR SWORDS
IN THE STANDING POOLS OF BLOOD
SO MY FAILURE NOW IS KNOWN
AND MY SHAME CONFIRMED, COMPLETE
SOON THE BONES WILL TELL THE TALE
THAT MY LIPS CANNOT REPEAT
