I betrayed your feelings for reasons unknown
you persist in your love,you fight for your throne
ages ago,the rules were ingraved in stone
there are two pawns in the game
Countin' the days in a haze of doubt
we're both in anger,both spittin' it out
meant and unmeant,mutter and shout
but both with a different aim
You put a lotta light on a few grains of gold
but it's just an oasis and I'll make it bold
it's too little,too little to hold
too little,too little to hold
What's the use for the sinner,when he or she repents
we're pickin' up the pieces and droppin' them again
it's a bloody war,there are only losers in the end
even if one of us should surrender
Babel where we live,it is not the place to die
the more I repeat it and the harder I try
the sooner you're on to me,that dog sure is sly
when she's actin' sweet and tender
You put a lotta light on a few grains of gold
but it's just an oasis and I'll make it bold
too little,too little to hold
too little,too little to hold
The sun goes up and the sun goes down
there is nothing unusual goin' on
it could be easily and quietly done
but you're askin' for thunder
You're puttin' this beside you with a tear and a laugh
there never was a unit,there were only two halfs
and in fact,what proves this epitaph?
doesn't it make you wonder?
You pu a lotta light on a few grains of gold
but it's just an oasis and I'll make it bold
it's too little,too little to hold
too little,too little to hold
