The Bitter Suite VI: Abandon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Strangers in the soil, so hide your enmity
Are you living up to ghosts or does virtue disagree?
Oh...

[Verse 2]
Use your gifts for good, rescue them from greed
Find a proper voice as a thistle in the wreath
Oh...

[Chorus]
Move them to truth, far from ruin
And barricade the myth I made, the wolves at bay
I know that history fades and sympathy dithers away

[Bridge]
The City's Son living under my thumb

[Verse 3]
You couldn't compromise, so keep playing with fire
Oh...

[Chorus]
Move them to truth, far from ruin
And barricade the myth I made, the wolves at bay
I know that history fades and sympathy dithers away
[Instrumental]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The Pimp/Priest and Hunter speak candidly with each other after the service. The Pimp/Priest moves that Hunter try for power and to run for mayor. Hunter has not forgotten or forgiven the Pimp/Priest and believes this is the best way to crush him. However, the Pimp/Priest has already known who Hunter is all along and is only manipulating him to use as a pawn.

This is the sixth and final part of the “Bitter Suite” hexalogy.
