The Longest Mile Lyrics

Your face is sweet

With a smile that can't be beat

But I know you are a liar

With eyes like Christmas trees on fire

Take what you need

From any venomous, delusional screed

That fits the facts where you require

King Cruel, unholy empire

O my child, come free yourself from doubt

You put all tongues on trial in the courtroom of your mouth

All the while the voices in your head

Would walk the longest mile to celebrate what you are

And now the future is bleak

No winners in this pyrrhic victory

When it comes down to the wire

We rise from the mire

O my child, wherever you lay your head

You put all hearts on trial in the Kingdom of the Dead

All the while the mundane to the bizarre

Would walk the longest mile to celebrate what you are

To celebrate what you are

To celebrate what you are

To celebrate what you are

To celebrate what you are
