The Cruelest Year Songtext
von Assemblage 23

The cruelest year
Stole lives too young
And many more still in the balance hung

We couldn′t breathe
Try as we might
Fragile as feedback, hopeless as the night

But the course has run
The damage done
The slate wiped clean again

The cruelest year
Tore lives apart
Its greedy fingers rending blameless hearts


This empty space
Where once loved dwelled
Razed to foundations, left an empty shell

But the course has run
The damage done
The slate wiped clean again

The cruelest year
Left us behind
The mangled wreckage of our lives entwined

We bore the scars
Mistakes we made
The walking wounded in a grim parade

The course has run
The damage done
The slate wiped clean again


The course has run
The damage done
The slate wiped clean again
