They said never again

And then again

And then they said never again, again

Why is that phrase wraps itself ‘round our hearts?

And promises meaning, a fresh and new start

But never delivers, never comes to full bloom

Uttered in brightest daylight, abandoned by moon
Never again, never again

The shadow will fall on us never again

And ever again that same test will we fail

At the very same dangers the boldest will quail
And never again, never again

We’ll walk with our hearts weighed down never again

But twilight is coming and night follows soon

We must stiffen resolve made so light at gold noon

And never again, never again

I’ll not let them frighten me, never again

And never again

Fuck never again

It’s ever again

Forever again.
