You All Loved Him Once
You all loved him once
And not without cause
He fed you through the winter
He led you through the fog
You hid behind his body to be sheltered from the mob
You all loved him once
And not without cause
You all loved him once
When his glory was unmatched
Your signal when to celebrate was the bugle of his laugh
But when it came time to stand with him
You scattered with the rats
You all loved him once
That time has passed
You all loved him once
When the future was opaque
His reassuring visions were the pillars of your faith
Through a thousand false horizons
He could always fly it straight
You all loved him once
That turned to hate
You all loved him once
An uncommon love at that
What you saw as a pedestal
Was his elevated path
So to satisfy the Philistines
You stabbed him in the back
You all loved him once
Imagine that
You all loved him once
You ate out of his hand
He mirrored your confusion
So that you might understand
When your soul was an experiment
He drew a diagram
You all loved him once
It ended bad
You all loved him once
And not without cause
He helped carry your baggage
When your strength was nearly gone
Though more and more was put on him
He tried his best to take it on
You all loved him once
Not without cause
You all loved him once
Now he is gone
Una vez todos lo amaron
Una vez todos lo amaron
Y no sin razón
Él los alimentó durante el invierno
Los guió a través de la niebla
Se escondieron detrás de su cuerpo para refugiarse de la multitud
Una vez todos lo amaron
Y no sin razón
Una vez todos lo amaron
Cuando su gloria era incomparable
Su señal para celebrar era el toque de su risa
Pero cuando llegó el momento de estar a su lado
Se dispersaron como ratas
Una vez todos lo amaron
Ese tiempo ha pasado
Una vez todos lo amaron
Cuando el futuro era opaco
Sus visiones reconfortantes eran los pilares de su fe
A través de mil horizontes falsos
Siempre podía mantenerse firme
Una vez todos lo amaron
Eso se convirtió en odio
Una vez todos lo amaron
Un amor poco común en eso
Lo que ustedes veían como un pedestal
Era su camino elevado
Así que para satisfacer a los filisteos
Le clavaron un puñal por la espalda
Una vez todos lo amaron
Imagínense eso
Una vez todos lo amaron
Comían de su mano
Reflejaba su confusión
Para que pudieran entender
Cuando sus almas eran un experimento
Él trazaba un diagrama
Una vez todos lo amaron
Terminó mal
Una vez todos lo amaron
Y no sin razón
Ayudó a llevar su equipaje
Cuando su fuerza casi se había ido
Aunque cada vez le ponían más peso
Él hacía lo posible por cargarlo
Una vez todos lo amaron
No sin razón
Una vez todos lo amaron
Ahora se ha ido
