By the Sword
I see him by the exit, his post near the trash can
Fast cars driven by smug suits curse the caveman
His business card a construction of dirty cardboard
Abandoned angels among us, live and die by the sword
------------------------------------------------
Not one to crack the window and sully the new sedan
Expensive coat of paint far more value than the man
No symphony of music plays that strikes up the chord
Abandoned angels among us, live and die by the sword
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Designer coat not part of this frozen game plan
Disgust drips, snot crusted cuffs, once better than
He longs for the warm comfort from a bottle poured
Abandoned angels among us, live and die by the sword
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Take off the rose coloreds and see the naked scan
Missing blinders might show members of your clan
There, but for grace, I travel in this sad nomadic horde
Abandoned angels among us, live and die by the sword
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick to judge and jury the measure of a man
Holier than thou jumps from the fire to the frying pan
Peaceful sleep escapes you for brothers you ignored
Abandoned angels among us, live and die by the sword
----------------------------------------------------------------------
