Underdog Lyrics

once upon a time

my father told me not to be afraid of the dark,

and not to be afraid of graveyards or ghosts.

he told me that it was only the living that i needed to fear.

but as i grew older

and all my friends fell like the leaves

floating in the frosty autumn breeze,

i realised that it was life itself that i was afraid of.

and after the last dreams had faded

and when the lights of the cities had died,

in the last blazing fire under the stars

watching the satellites stumble then fall:

not one left under God

but the underdog.
