Lips like blasphemy
Eyes of unforgiving truth
The taste of you was sweeter
When things went your way
Your path marked
A way of righteousness
Treading through lesser beings
With their arms outstretched
Don't forget we loved you
Up there on your pedestal
Don't forget we would've given you
Everything
(Every chance in the world
When you gave only one)
With that our lips are silenced
As you walk on
Head held high
Heart in our forgotten hands
