The Silent Comedy - Victory lyrics

A man in a hat Paused for the camera And raised his hand for all to see And with two fingers up He then spread them apart He said give us a sign victory And I walked down the stairs Meeting the eyes Of a woman who is not for me But she's calm and she's sweet And she's struck and imposing Her name is pronounced Victory And her wings have been tied on with ribbons And the torch that she carries is dark But she sheds her disguise when she follows my eyes And she uses my teeth for a spark The question is are you But some opportunist A wolf caught befriending the sheep And I answer that I am Confused and aloof And yet arrogant for victory She says all the good words are the old ones And the short are preferred to the long She says you should be weak and be good as of now You're just evil and trying to be strong But I don't make new mistakes She thinks that I'm not awake I should leave now It's too late Well I'm not really sure what we're doing this for Is there something to see underneath? And I want to believe I am mine for the many And title this one victory Well I don't know if I'm where I'm needed If you need me please raise up your voice I hate being alive if it's just to survive I'd rather sing than be left making noise (alright) A man in a hat Swallowed his history And begged with his old colonies He said give us the guns The grenades and the mortars We won't stop before victory No we won't stop before victory And I won't stop before victory
