lyrics

You ran a tight ship back when the children were growing up
Under your feet
They had to be broken, or else how would they ever learn
The done thing
The weak can't appreciate
The loneliness and necessity of strength
You stand alone

And then they had the audacity
To grow up as themselves
Forgetting who they are
Associating with 'Not Our Kind Of People'
They had to be left to die
They'll soon come back
To beg for your forgiveness
You stand alone

What do you stand for
Now that the world you ruled is shut outside your door?
Mighty on your throne
But not even the strength to pace the floor
Consumed with being right
And getting righter every day
You stand alone

You stand alone
You sit alone
You lie alone
You die alone...

What do you stand for
Now that the world you ruled is shut outside your door?
Mighty on your throne
But not even the strength to pace the floor
Consumed with being right
And getting righter every day
You stand alone

What do you stand for
Now that the world you ruled is shut outside your door?
Mighty on your throne
But not even the strength to pace the floor
Consumed with being right
And getting righter every day
You lie alone
You die alone.
