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
