We had decided the end would be near
When we had arrived and had found you in tears
And away by yourself
Before you see valour itself

We had decided pretend was before we had the value of your metaphors
And awaken to tell
That there's more than your valour to sell

For the phrase is so fair "I don't believe that the end will be clear"
But I don't believe that this flatterer awakes to himself
Before you see valour itself

We had derided the friends and the near
We had decided we saw you in tears by the end of the shelf
Before you saw valour itself
