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 life's only begun Begun I saw in my mind's eye The crumbling castles Disasters raining like fallen arrows This is just the way thing are For women like me Whispers in the hallways Always observant Always in shadows This is just the way things are Oooh I didn't 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 Look arround The fields are full of songbirds' Closing words Oh, Polyxena shield your Eyes from the Sun Just for a second, (Just for a second) Just for a second more (Just for a second more) You can still let this world Stay a happy one For just one more second, (For just one more second) Your life's only begun, (begun) Begun (begun) Stories as old as they are unkind Wrong time, wrong place, (Wrong time, wrong place) Not our war to wage, (Not our war to wage) This is just the way thing are Another girl caught up in the crosshair Not fair to ask for war And they take more This is just the way things are Oooh, (Oooh) I didn't want this for you, (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 do? (What could I?) What could I do? (What could I?) What could I do? (What could I?) What could I Do? [Screaming] Oh, God, what could I do When this is what it's come to? Want this city on fire But it's alredy done It's a funeral pyres Nothing left to be won So I'll sit here And I'll watch her There's no mercy for the conquered But I won't go quiet No, I can't help them win So at least I can sing When the knife goes in (In) Oh, Polyxena shield your Eyes from the Sun You leave a world that Doesn't deserve your love But just for a second Just for a second more
