Twenty years of affection and still that lethal taste on our tongues Funeral poetry to tear our blackened skies Razorblade sharpeners As we are still trying to get accustomed To all the horror around us We are poets and nobodies Outcasts and troublemakers Sure we don't expect anything good to happen anytime soon Twenty years of affection and still that lethal taste on our tongues We are soloists and we are the voice Of the orphans (and) the wanderers Surely we don't expect anything good to happen anytime soon Filled with dread When no one is listening The time is coming in There is no place to hide, we are dying We learned to dance when we got sad To howl when we got discouraged Our shouts are worth a thousand words They best reflect the violence and the shame We will maintain the fire within us Until the end of this sinister world Twenty years of dedication And we will maintain the fire within us
