anthem for a lost cause

it's a cold and lonely message

at the end of a song

it invaded hearts and minds

but they couldn't get along

it can ask you to remember

it can ask you for a dance

so it seems that every song

now is just one last chance

take this

it's yours

an anthem for a lost cause

now ashes

bone and splinter

what once was a glittering prize

the composition rites

oh redemption

love and departure

i think your work is done

paris

st. petersburg don't need a tower of song

escape's not worth the capture

so walk that lonesome road

no joy or earthly rapture

nothing to take the load

take this

it's yours

an anthem for a lost cause

now ashes

bone and splinter

what once was a glittering prize

the composition rites

take this

it's yours

an anthem for a lost cause

now ashes

bone and splinter

what once was a glittering prize

the composition rites

yours.cause. take this

it's yours

an anthem for a lost cause

now ashes

bone and splinter

what once was a glittering prize

the composition rites
