Accidental Protégé Lyrics by Death in June

DISCriminate (’81 ~ ’97)

1995

[Verse 1]
When you pray in silence
And see our Jesus stagger
Awake and take a perfumed candle
And use life like a dagger
[Chorus]
I'm your accidental protégé
The gift, the blood
The thrown away
[Verse 2]
The silver chain has broken
Goals and dreams fulfill
With emptiness and instinct
With impurity and will
[Chorus]
I'm your accidental protégé
The grave of love
The yesterday
[Verse 3]
In this my year of 3 winters
Where orchards fade, fade and fall
Like a loaf of love's new bake
Fallen, beautiful, adored
[Chorus]
I'm your accidental protégé
The gift, the blood
The thrown away
[Verse 4]
I thought I found paradise
But paradise came and wept
Like the wind through the winter's woods
It cowed and took a breath
[Chorus]
I'm your accidental protégé
The gift, the blood
The yesterday
