Lyrics for The World Shrugged

I see a cross, so rotten and sad I see a flag, a bloody torn rag Oh, the games we play Oh, the lies we tell Oh, the hearts that are broken Between heaven and hell And the stones will fall, never to rise And the world will shrug, and close her eyes In this black night In these jaws of steel All our battles lost Beneath an iron hill Oh, what damned mankind And all his woes And I'd murder Cupid With his bow And the stones will fall, never to rise And the world will shrug, and close her eyes Across this earth A poison seeps From house to house That plague does creep With smiles and whispers To blunt our swords With fools' gold For us all
