The Loser's Ball

I was told by my Grandma'
Many years ago, I was just a child
«Boy, go and grow as an honest man
Look on what you’ve done with pride!»
The years have passed I’m a normal lad
I won’t be named in school treatises
But looking back on what I’ve done
Yes, there’s a glimpse of pride!
The losers' ball — Dance with me
To the sound of the fiddle
For the ones who fall — Like a cloudless
Sky reflected in a billow
Learn a new step for each new Babylon
(build the city of lies and despair)
If you have time send a message
To every form of human life
«Hey out there if someone listens
This way we won’t survive!»
We’ll be drawn in arrogance
Hanged by the noose of greed
A new religion of violence
A bible of bad deeds
The losers' ball — Dance with me
To the sound of the fiddle
For the ones who fall — Like a cloudless
Sky reflected in a billow
Learn a new step for each new Babylon
(build the city of lies-lust-despair)
