rollin' out the grand parade
send up all the fire and wings
the butcher
here to gut the day
and spill out the sudden king
all the bravest boys
waiting for the world to end
you never knew you were that way
the rifle came before your name
and mothers share a slice of hope
smoking under heavy rain
all the bravest boys
waiting for the world to end
and all the bravest boys
are waiting for the world to end
and all their favorite toys
are buried there beside their friends
where the world will end
huddled on a shadowed hill
the town is a fallen steed
chocolate milk and wounded bones
the rumors in the trembling leaves
and all the bravest boys
are waiting for the world to end
for the world to end
and all their favorite toys
are buried there beside their friends
where the world will end
all the bravest boys
waiting for the world to end
