Lyrics:

The cruelest year
Stole lives too young
And many more still
In the balance hung
We couldn't breathe
Try as we might
Fragile as feedback
Hopeless as the night
[But the course has runThe damage doneThe slate wiped clean again]
The cruelest year
Tore lives apart
Its greedy fingers
Rending blameless hearts
This empty space
Where once loved dwelled
Razed to foundations
Left an empty shell
[But the course has runThe damage doneThe slate wiped clean again]
The cruelest year
Left us behind
The mangled wreckage
Of our lives entwined
We bore the scars
Mistakes we made
The walking wounded
In a grim parade
[But the course has runThe damage doneThe slate wiped clean again]
