The bull has gored the matador

The u.s. army won the war

The meaning died in metaphor

I hope you let it go.

The phoenix burned but did not rise

Now half the body's paralyzed

There's no one left to criticize

I hope you let it go.

I hope you let it go

Hope you let it go

The enemy's invincible

I hope you let it go.

The prophet said we'd disappear

The prophet's gone but we're still here

His prophecy was insincere

I hope you let it go.

The righteous rage was foolish pride

The conquerors did not divide

The call keeps coming from inside

I hope you let it go.

The embassy's abandoned now

The flag that flew is on the ground

The painting burned, the statue drowned

I hope you let it go.

The moving train accelerates

It's always fast and always late

It never leaves the empire

State

I hope you let it go.

I hope you let it go

I hope you let it go

Our enemy's invincible

I hope you let it go.

The sentencing was overturned

The killer freed, the court adjourned.
