Brothers Grimm [USA] - Home Of The Vain

The man that I knew always told the truth He never led me astray, he said "I'd die for you." But he let me inside, in his nurturing love He looked up to the heavens. The man that I knew always told the truth He never led me astray, he said "I'd die for you." But he let me inside, in his nurturing love He looked up to the heavens and he butchered a dove You used to be innocent, fighting for our lives Now you're damning the widows and they're not ready to die Come in from the cold, catch your breath as I feed you How could you murder your own? I'd let you go but I need you Thinking of ways to justify your mistakes Its hard to pretend we're not in flames Come in from the cold, catch your breath as I feed you I see that glare in your eye, don't walk away when I need you. We'll build our own Create our home The disarray you've made of us We'll bury in the snow x2 The ground on which I walk has caught a deadly disease The anthem that you taught has brought us down upon our knees And I forbid you to take another casualty We are lions led by asses But it needs to be saved so come with me To the land of the cheats and the home of the vain Vain. Sick in the winter, weak in the fall As you cross the river, you'll abandon us all Frozen to die among the thousands you left Frozen to die, frozen to die CHORUS How could you show concern for the most trivial of things? When your children toss and turn and scream, tugging at your strings The second that the tables turn, you'll be begging for a word But our mouths are sewn shut from every time you threw us to the curb. CHORUS I'll suffer I'll suffer, I wont say a word You may never have loved me, but I'll sing like a bird.
