lyrics

Beast in the belly, for your son’s been slain
Awful sorry Maryanne
Seems like you gave birth yesterday
Back and forth and back again

Speed didn’t kill him, nor the century’s pace
Awful sorry Maryanne
He went to war, fought for that power game
Back and forth and back again

Say "be grateful"
Say "be proud
That he stood up
From the crowd"

And it may rock your bones
It may rock your bones
That only ghosts could know
Only ghosts could know
What we’re doing this for

Heart flies away, and then it breaks
Awful sorry Maryanne
9 months to make and in a minute it fades
Back and forth and back again

Dreams had him working as a head of state
Awful sorry Maryanne
Wife and a kid, he had the whole thing made
Back and forth and back again

Say "we know
It’ll hurt"
But be sure
Of its worth"

And it may rock your bones
It may rock your bones
That only ghosts could know
Only ghosts could know
What we’re doing this for

And it may rock your bones
It may rock your bones
That only ghosts could know
Only ghosts could know
What we’re doing this for
