Donner Pass Songtext
von Versus the World

We dug our hands into mud
Into earth
Cluttered graves out of shallow graves to rebirth

Mama said there′d be days like these
But we never heeded the words
Now there is no difference between damned and saved
We are the same

Gutter-bats screech our names in the air
They sing our sins and secrets out for anyone to hear
Takes a strong man to admit he's scared
When the war has followed him home
When there is no gun or god to save you from


Hey! Quiet down!
You can almost hear me now
Hear the pounding of apathetic hearts
As the piper comes to call
They′ll cry out

Could love have been enough to save us
Save us from ourselves?

Take a moment to yourself
While your life flashes before
Think back to a time when we were proud
Think back to a time when honest men weren't hard to find
When fathers had their sons
But they were only as good as their wine

Hey! Quiet down!
You can almost hear me now
That's the pounding of every guilty heart
As the piper comes to call
They′ll cry out

Could love have been enough to save us
Save us from ourselves?
