Conqueror's Song

(written by Dave Schramm)

You keep all your aces so close to your chest
How many more fell today?
You overcame fortune and overlooked fame
How many more fell today?

Tell me your reasons for fighting
Tell me your kindness has saved the day
Tell me I'm overexcited
How many more fell today?

A siren is sounding but this ain't no drill
Tell me the names of your friends today
And your awesome ignorance shines in you still
Tell me the names of your friends today

Give me one reason to like you
Give me a good reason to think like you
Honestly I think you've tried to
How many more fell today?

We've played along
With your conqueror's song
Too long, too long

Tell me I'm overexcited
How many more fell today?

You keep all your aces so close to your chest
How many more fell today?
