Dead Again

Lyrics by Leah Raedaelf of Pagham

(To the Tune of: Annie’s Song, by John Denver)

You’ve killed my defenses,
Like a knight in a melee
Like a duke ‘giving lessons,’
Like a viscount at play…
Like a swarm of Queen’s Guardsmen,
Like a pike-shot from Nathair…
You’ve killed my defenses and I’m dead again.

Someday I’ll hit you,
I’ll land some stick on you,
Get in past your shield work and take your left arm….
My dream is that someday my rap lands before yours,
But that day’s not here yet, and I’m dead again.

You’ve killed my defenses,
Like a knight in a melee
Like a duke ‘giving lessons,’
Like a viscount at play…
Like a swarm of Queen’s Guardsmen,
Like a pike-shot from Nathair…
You’ve killed my defenses and I’m dead again.
