Matt Patrick Walsh - The Raider Lyrics

You were full of life, sir
You were quite a mess
I couldn't recognize you through your lockjaw
I wonder where my ally went
I wonder where your money went.
You're just like gargoyles
Soon we're back to flight
A moment trapped and then you're soaring high
It's hard figure out the cause
I like to think you're just on pause
But I never held your hand through it all
You'd reach and I'd recoil
I had to watch the gargoyle turn to stone
Now the friend I've known
Is just a granite figure in the night
You're on that plane now
You break down the brick
The mortar knew it never stood a chance
It looks as though you're taking off
I never got to see you off
And I never held your hand through it all
You'd reach and I'd recoil
I had to watch the water boil and rise
I saw the whole demise
And I was simply standing there in shock
I told you what you wanted to hear
You waterboarded everyone
Everyone knew the rules
And everyone rebelled
But I never held your hand through it all
You'd reach and I'd recoil
I had to watch the oil and water split
I felt the weight drop down
And removed your crown before you took it off
