Silver Dagger
Ode 2
Chorus.
When everyone is counting on you and you can’t work up the nerve,
The only thought that passes through your head is yourself you must preserve
But all these other people are counting on you for their lives
Yet you still can’t bring yourself to save them when the critical moment arrives
You don’t know what to do but you know that cowards never save the day
And you only have yourself to blame when the rest of the world wastes away.
When everyone is counting on you and you can’t work up the nerve,
The only thought that passes through your head is yourself you must preserve
But all these other people are counting on you for their lives
Yet you still can’t bring yourself to save them when the critical moment arrives
You don’t know what to do but you know that cowards never save the day
And you only have yourself to blame when the rest of the world wastes away.
