After another listen I've changed my mind completely. I think the last line is "A boy _in_ his innocent..." with "world" being the implied word, not girl. The whole song is about him regretting that he isn't innocent anymore (because he saw so much violence in the war), so he is imagining / wishing that he was in his previous innocent world. |

The last paragraph actually needs a couple further changes that I just noticed we've -> we, and calloused -> callous Forget the words to the songs that we've heard The passages read all the names in a world That have brought us this pain From the wounds we sustained A cold, callous heart Sitting still in this cave of a chest So abandon a life from before A boy and his innocent... Another note - the implied word after innocent is probably "girl". That's my opinion anyway. The last word of the song is definitely "innocent" and not "innocence" though. |

One foot, then the other Such embarrassment It wasn't meant that I, I should discover Such offensive things This suffering sends Hope to the ground But I really never had enough They've got pride in him This tide turns lives over A back-town prophecy Adorned in stony skin We never ever [never ever] Ever had to lie to move ahead But here in oblivion We cling to what we can So in the end [in the end] We can say that with these hands We took it all back It all back So let us force a smile And pretend that we're alive Oh, but somewhere None of this happened The bullets removed themselves Life is beautiful I have A home above the lake where I could Forget the words to the songs that we've heard The passages read all the names in a world That have brought us this pain From the wounds we've sustained A cold, calloused heart Sitting still in this cave of a chest So abandon a life from before A boy and his innocent... |

| The Dear Hunter – He Said He Had a Story Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
There was a silver circle sign, and she was standing at the door We pressed our way right through the crowd, our pace was quickened to her floor There was a single feigning light, and there was silk all on the walls She had a lot of love to give, I was prepared to take it all "But what did she do next?" She had disrobed, and she was waiting on the floor She asked me what it was I want, I thought that I wanted it all "What did you say?" I said "Stand up and move your body to the bed." She quickly stood, and slowly turned, and here's exactly what she said "Please be soft and sweet to me, this life has not been good you see its hard with such a history buried in misery." "And what did you do next?" I broke a smile, reminding that I paid her well. Her lips returned, and then I felt her hands unbuckling my belt. "So was it good?" Oh, it felt like heaven, but I'm sure she was in hell I made it clear I'd get my money's worth out of the goods she sells Break and bind yourself to me Deliver what you've sold you see that I will only take from you, and use it up I'll use you up What was your name? Break and bind yourself to me Deliver what you've sold you see that I will only take from you to use it up I'll use you up What was your name? |

Amongst the stone and smoke We never laid before Images floating all about Life in the afterglow My decaying mind pretends None of this ever happened We either learn to live a lie Or we're waiting here to die And after all this suffering I could lie here for good With a mind on fire I try and stand my ground Illuminate and I will follow... Amongst the stone and smoke Rising above it all Broken but not beyond repair See how this soul fairs From after all this suffering I could lie here for good But with a mind on fire I try and stand my ground Illuminate and I will follow you Everything you thought you lost you've found [x5] Let's see how this all fairs The private does what the general says, The general does what the president says, The president does what the first lady says So, so they say |

Here they are The wicked A panic floods the field Deliverance Unthinkable They play the part, performing oh so well With empty cause, they carry on A twisted soul, an apparition Born of a beastly brand They butcher purposely [Just have the sense to run away] Scream at the sky and beg Beg for a reason he would allow this Look to the sky and say We would be better off without this Who would allow this? We've never felt alive But none of us can die just when we want to [Want to] We're stuck in this disguise With leather skin these eyes designed to haunt you [Haunt you] But do we haunt you? Scream at the sky and beg Beg for a reason he would allow this Look to the sky and say We would be better off without this Who would allow this? From the other side [x8] --- fixed a few errors/cleaned it up |

Shrouded Criminal An innovative mind (he was _________??) Shadowed They're oblivious with plans awry (he was _________??) Who can save us now? Love seems barren when cash is king Wealth here for the bleeding what good will bring More than I could ask from those who sleep A crooked mind, an honest heart ancillary They collide Cheating Innocence I've got the time tonight Tonight x 6 Got time, got time x 7 Love seems bare of meaning when cash is king Wealth here for the bleeding what good will bring Be more than I could ask from those who sleep A crooked mind, an honest heart ancillary They collide ----- the only thing I can't make out is what the background singers are saying after each of the first 2 verses. the first 2 words are either "he was" or "we must" but the next part I can't tell. sounds something like spear and slow, spirits low, miracle, or spiritual, or but none of those make sense at all. A couple other sites have "we must let words go" but I'm pretty sure that's wrong. I actually don't have a prob w/ the original poster putting "baron" instead of "barren"; it shows the nice wordplay by Casey to someone who might not catch it, since the song is saying that love < cash. Similarly, a baron < a king. Oh and like the guy said above me, the first time it's "love is barren" and the second time it's "love is bare of meaning". |
