Lyrics for The Accidental

My honour's in doubt It was accidental I swear to God It was the wrong angle The blade flashed by I had to grab it A lunging mass It was accidental The nights seem longer Tell me what I've done I know I think That he deserved it We all like a drink But he deserved it The blade flashed by I barely saw it My dreams are scarred Your face my forfeit The nights seem longer Tell me what I've done Now I know That the earth from the sky to the ground Is alive with an aching for love Look at me I have tried but good luck is a sound I've not heard in my life for a while Don't desert me now It was accidental The blade flashed by There was nothing better My mind was numb My guts they led me This normal night This one dead body
