She sees the world and how it bleeds just a mother on her knees scrubbing the floors of centuries a little food for the children's mouths a little comfort in her world of doubt another day when meeting ends is just about working out Although her man is doing what he can his tired eyes all his smiles can’t pretend a brief respite from the demands days end at home once again with his love a little time to spend time too short with the children And with early mornings alarm he grits his teeth all his strength lays next to him asleep in their beds before the sun has cracked the sky he wonders why it’s all just a struggle to survive A little rest some time to spend to lay in the havens of his womans arms a little time not to pretend that heaven was a place they only imagined All the news tells them how the world will surely end today, tomorrow don’t know quite when the machine that hums to the blood and bone jig fiddle de diddle and riddle me this And the cost of their living is steadily rising everyday it’s the same the clockworks of surviving everyone out there in the battleground only acquisition to choose between super heroes Fall or stand battered by insanity stand or fall is the only demand lift all the injured up from societies battlefield carry them to sanctuaries make sense of it all And with life's monument chisel their names under duress heroes all did they give their lives in the hope to gain for themselves nothing at all
