Resplendent riff-raff, on our last legs,
Fuel for the fire, dust for the graves,
Earth and sky,
You and I, the glorious dregs

Aluminium foil, a crown for our heads,
Faithless and loyal, to love we allege,
Diamonds and leaves,
You and me, the glorious dregs.

Worthless and worthy,
Like profane prophets we speak of vengeance and mercy,
Of an eye for and eye, and turning the other cheek.

Selfless and selfish, a life in debt,
Brothers and bigots, blessings and plagues,
Forgiven and cursed,
The last, the first, the glorious dregs.

Earth and sky,
You and I, the glorious dregs,
The glorious dregs.
