lyrics

Well, I dreamt you into life
Before the day that we met
Clearer than any vision I have ever been sent
Except the angels who
Returned to bathe in your deep blood

Dancing around this battered citadel with my love
Alone, ’neath ancient walls
That creak and shatter over us
Past the fallen statues
Waltz in the dregs of the flood
Smoke the ash of angels
Breath out the mist of their deep blood

But you tried to show me the world
You listened ‘til my throat was dry
You tried to dazzle me

When your blood red sunrise gallops towards me
And your gaze, it shelters like the empress tree
I see all your cities rebuilt on words
I follow new children and fledgling birds
And brothers and sisters I saw bleed first

The city elevates itself to temple status
Whispers within our ear ’til we believe our own fuss
Boulevards and gardens mesh together and lose us

You fade in like Haring neon dancing in the black light
Soothe me with all the violence of the best Basquiat
All the hearts and minds
Within this room are your toys
You worry about your age
But no-one else hears that noise

When your blood red sunrise gallops towards me
And your gaze, it shelters like the empress tree
I see all your cities rebuilt on words
I follow new children and fledgling birds
And brothers and sisters I saw bleed first
