No chance to speak before we're bones 
There is no muscle in our tongues

I thought I could say what I wanted to say 
For a second that thought became a sword in my hand 
I could slay any problem that would stand in my way 
I felt just like a crusader 
Lion-heart, a Holy Land invader 
But nobody can say what they really mean to say, and 
The impotency of speech came up and hit me that day, and 
I would have made this instrumental 
But the words got in the way

There is no language in our lungs 
To tell the world what's in our hearts 
No, we're leaving nothing behind 
Just chiseled stones 
No chance to speak before we're bones 
There is no language in our lungs
