Oh, Polyxena, shield your eyes from the sun
Just for a second, just for a second more
You can still let this world stay a happy one
For just one more second, your lifeโs only begun
Begun
I saw in my mindโs eye the crumbling castles
Disasters raining like falling arrows
This is just the way things are
For women like me, whispers in the hallways
Always observant, always in shadows
This is just the way things are
Ooo
I didnโt want this for you
But what could I do?
So listen to me sing a little longer
Soon, the darkness comes with all the monsters
But look around, the fields are full of songbirdsโ
Closing words:
โOh, Polyxena, shield your eyes from the sun
Just a second, just for a second more
You can still let this world stay a happy one
For just one more second, your lifeโs only begun
Begunโ
Stories as old as they are unkind
Wrong time, wrong place, not our war to wage
This is just the way things are
Another girl caught up in the crosshairs
Not fair to ask for war, and then take more
This is just the way things are
Ooo
I didnโt want this for you
But what could I do?
What could I do?
What could I do?
What could I do?
What could I do? (What could I-)
What could I do? (What could I-)
What could I do? (What could I-)
What could I do? (What could I-)
(Ah)
Oh, God, what can I do?
When this is what itโs come to?
Want this city on fire
But itโs already done
Itโs all funeral pyres
Nothing left to be won
So Iโll sit here, and Iโll watch her
Thereโs no mercy for the conquered
But I wonโt go quiet, no, I canโt let โem win
So at least I can sing
When the knife goes in
Oh, Polyxena, shield your eyes from the sun
You leave a world that doesnโt deserve your love
But just a second, just for a second more
