First to break won't be the first to feel the pull
Ostracised in your half-step play of the martyr
Fast to think peace talks and empty drives sound sure
Break the fool. Penance sure; decree nisi forseen
We'll sacrafice the hostage first so we don't feel the 
pain
Writing baccalaureate for the departed
We'll sacrafice the hostage first so we don't feel the 
pain
Writing baccalaureate for the departed
Wilt daguerreotype of dais
We'll execute the hostage first so we feel that we 
survived
Writing baccalaureate for the departed
Paint the face of pride around the room
Linoleum bathrobe represented on the telephone
to break the fall i played the fool for you
