Rogue Trader

lyrics

Our hero is a young man
In hand-cuffs, wearing a smile
One tear held in the small of his eye
Out star rose in the night sky
Black holes disguised in his light
Illusions were all he sold

He knew what he'd done was wrong
Stayed true to his daily crime
There was no escape from what came before
He lived by the bottom line

In pursuit of straight answers
We asked of this man in change
'Who blessed him his power and gold?'
The good clerk did console him
As judgement was handed down
Our hero was on his own

He moved through dark mist and lies
And wove with the thinnest line
We gave him his silver and sword
We knew when we chose to ignore
