[Verse 1]
The cat awoke to find the room was still there
The mirror broke and yet you're still alive
Like rain, like blood, like crying
You're dressed in mud, the finest I have ever seen
Command your men
There's really no excuse this time

[Chorus]
And yet the mighty also fall
And you can't command them all this time
You're playing the other side again
The game is on the line
Perhaps you'll win the next time

[Verse 2]
And if they ask
He'd say he never sang for anyone but you
A waste of breathe, the waste of growing old
Expecting absolution
Insisting that you did it for mercy, did it for love

[Chorus]
And yet the mighty also fall
And you can't command them all this time
You're playing the other side again
The game is on the line
Perhaps you'll win, but not this time
The mighty also fall
And you can't command them all
