There were candles in the field
As you dined for the last time
What did you feel
What did I say
The machinery hummed
As they poured through the door
Why did they come
What did they think they’d see
And they locked the door
As if you’d fly
Our eyes were glued
To the consequences of that lie
As they strapped you to the table
Asked why
In my name, in my name
There were stars on the tops of buildings
As we prayed
What did you see
What did we do
That nightmare plumbing
Began to dance its last waltz
Some fancy last steps
You finished the song
And they locked the door
Like they thought you’d give it a try
As we closed our eyes
And waited for it all to go by
And they hung you out to dry
Asked why
In my name, in my name
As the candles all sputtered out
And we opened our eyes
You didn’t say a word
We didn’t hear a thing
And the stars fell
After you shot across the sky
We did it again
We did it again
Then you opened the door
Invited us all to fly
We stared slack jawed
As your mother started to cry
The hearse rolled out of the gate
Never asked why
