Lyrics
ONE OF THE TAKEN
Verse 1
One by one the little tin soldiers fall
Carried away by the sound of a Siren’s call
We swore allegiance
Said we’d never change
But they came at night
To carry us away
Chorus
Yeah I didn’t think that it would happen to me…No
(And then you saw her)
I was on my way down to the grocery store
(Your life was changed for sure)
The way she smiled at me I knew my time had come
(You had nowhere to run)
And in the blink of an eye yeah I’d become
One of the taken.
One of the taken
One of the taken
Verse2
One by one the band of brothers fell
Captivated by their Siren’s spell
James was taken
He had no chance at all
Another green bottle
Falling from our wall
Chorus
Yeah I didn’t think that it would happen to me…No
(And then you saw her)
I didn’t even make it to the grocery store
(Your life was changed for sure)
The way she smiled at me I knew my time had come
(You had nowhere to run)
And in the blink of an eye yeah I’d become
One of the taken.
One of the taken
One of the taken
Instrumental
Chorus
Yeah I didn’t think that it would happen to me…No
(And then you saw her)
I was on my way down to the grocery store
(Your life was changed for sure)
The way she smiled at me I knew my time had come
(You had nowhere to run)
And in the blink of an eye yeah I’d become
One of the taken.
One of the taken
One of the taken
