error may win

there are no reasons why the tears should fall
but if we do not crouch beneath the eaves
no bodies leave their warmth upon the wall

day after day our hearts fail to recall
what was once written plainly on our sleeves
there are no reasons why the tears should fall

you'd think that after waiting none would stall
instead we groan and wait for the proud thieves
no bodies leave their warmth upon the wall

ours was the watch that was not on the ball
what we have done is what the will achieves
there are no reasons why the tears should fall

what had to happen no one could forestall
he who was silent now most loudly grieves
no bodies leave their warmth upon the wall

those who had nothing gave to us their all
and count right now no more than fallen leaves
there are no reasons why the tears should fall
no bodies leave their warmth upon the wall
