Lyrics The Chalice - Monument

The Chalice

I’ve seen this movie many times before
Been brought down to my knees
And made to feel so small
They used to tell me that the world is fair
Well I no longer care, I need a new way out
Can you drink from Satan’s chalice
Without the sting of its poison
Destroying your soul
There are many paths that lead to sadness
Yet there is hope if you try to remember
There’s good in us all
Your mother told you to obey the rules
Of high society and do just as you’re told
Here in the jungle we have highway kings
And pretty midnight queens
That live to break the law
Can you drink from Satan’s chalice
Without the sting of its poison
Destroying your soul
There are many paths that lead to sadness
Yet there is hope if you try to remember
There’s good in us all
So in the end I’m leaving you with this
Give always one more kiss before you say goodbye
Life is too short to miss the things that matter
Heal your wounds with laughter
Let your spirit fly
Can you drink from Satan’s chalice
Without the sting of its poison
Destroying your soul
There are many paths that lead to sadness
Yet there is hope if you try to remember
There’s good in us all
