I look up at the stars And I think of all they've seen The Roman Empire burning and you coming back to me But I am the bearer of bad news I am the bearer of bad news A stifled cry from the back pews I am the bearer of bad news I wake up from a dream With tears still in my eyes I cannot recall the details, but you were by my side It hurts a little bit more everyday I'm standing at attention next to your grave Maybe this will all come back to me Or maybe it's a past life resurfacing But I am the bearer of bad news I am the bearer of bad news A stifled cry from the back pews I am the bearer of bad news If I am the chosen one The you'd better chose me soon There always will be other sons Destined for the moon If I am the fallen one Then someone better catch me soon This knot was bound to come undone And I was born to lose But I am the bearer of bad news I am the bearer of bad news A stifled cry from the back pews I am the bearer of bad news But I am the bearer of bad news I am the bearer of bad news A stifled cry from the back pews I am the bearer of bad news
