The Descent (Pages 1 & 2) Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

Will my kingdom disappear and fade away
Will sleep overcome the hurt and then decay
I can′t be poisoned and you will not make me cry
I've clenched my ugliness and clenched my paranoia

The winner takes it all, my baby teeth are gone
Into a better place that I have yet to go

Will I burn or will I pray
Will sleep consume my waking days
Descent is getting steeper day by day

This is my last descent
I hope I′m making sense
I've lost my last defense
This is my last descent


Have my expectations gone too far again
Do I have the courage of the books I've read
Do you understand the pain we′re going through
There is no need to leave me beaten black and blue

The winner takes it all, my baby teeth are gone
Into a better place that I have yet to go

Will I burn or will I pray
Will sleep consume my waking days
Descent is getting steeper day by day

This is my last descent
I hope I′m making sense
I've lost my last defense
This is my last descent

This is my last descent
I hope I′m making sense
I've lost my last defense
The pages that you left


This is my last descent
I hope I′m making sense
I've lost my last defense
The pages that you left
