Time Is A Lion |
If you fear the angels above while you sleep |
Then I’ll be the blood, you paint on your door |
Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep |
But time is a story and there will be more |
Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep |
But time is a story and there will be more |
And death and disgrace can seduce anyone |
Who needs to believe there’s judgment at hand |
God may be kind and see you like a son |
But time is a lion when you are a lamb |
God may be kind and see you like a son |
But time is a lion when you are a lamb |
The years see the best of intentions and greed |
They come without shame, they’ll leave you with some |
Men become old when their hurt becomes need |
But time is a lover and your time is young |
Men become old when their hurt becomes need |
But time is a lover and your time is young |
The sun is a soldier, out crawling the hill |
Setting fire to every house that’s in view |
Lighting the ruin of my hope and my will |
Till I’m like a shadow and I’m falling on you |
Crawling on you |
Oh you know how I do… |
So sleep here with me and I’ll keep you close |
For now while i try to live up to you |
You can’t see the challenge of this, I suppose |
But time is a dare and I’m trying to |
You can’t see the challenge of this, I suppose |
But time is a dare and I’m trying to |
But time is a dare and I’m trying to (3x) |
