[Verse 1]
Three boys in a burning Panzer
Doing nothing not to shove our throats in the flames
We shan't let go
[Refrain]
Oh friend, oh foe, oh friend, oh foe
[Chorus]
Beauty Towne
How little have we learned?
Beauty Towne
The fruit that we deserve
And we had, and we had
And we had more than we could take
[Verse 2]
Three orcs under plague of darkness
And like Egypt, we had it coming all along
I won't believe
[Refrain]
Oh fiend, oh foe, oh fiend, folio
[Chorus]
Beauty Towne
How little have we learned?
Beauty Towne
The fruit that we deserve
And we had, and we had
And we had more than we could take
Beauty Towne
The hair remains the same
Beauty Towne
Hung by the rope of shame
And we tried and we failed
Not to live this way again
[Interlude]
Chelsea Alvarez, Jherek Bischoff, Scott Goodwin
Mike Hadreas, Ruthie Haskell, Keehnan Konyha
Brian McFadden, Caralee McElroy, Sam Mickens
Zac Pennington, Jamie Stewart, Wilbert Williams
[Chorus]
Beauty Towne
How little have we learned?
Beauty Towne
The fruit that we deserve
And we had, and we had
And we had more than we could take
Beauty Towne
The hair remains the same
Beauty Towne
Hung by the rope of shame
And we tried and we failed
Not to live this way again
