Lyrics Golden Geese with Silver Tongues - Valiant Hearts

Golden Geese with Silver Tongues

Through the looking glass we flee
When deserts swallow all we see
It’s all coalescing in a moment
As the sun kisses me
When the days all drown in disarray
The bells will toll and we’ll understand what they stole
From the poets mouths
Their well of words is drawn
Their words, the ink would never let dry, but sadly set alight
Like a flame set out to see the world at night
Medicated in this state, we feel imagination numbly fade
As the melody is coursing through our veins
With silver tongues, they talk
As we listen to them spouting lies back and forth
Since all their ideals are gold that their truths can’t afford
So through the looking glass we flee
When deserts swallow all we see
It’s all coalescing in a moment as the sun kisses me
Their words decide if the fire cuts through
Or simple flickers and subsides
With poison dripping all down the page
An audience fed toxic words, until they obey
Please, oh Piper play your song
Sedate the snakes then move along
We’re insatiable, we feed on melodies
Intangible
I fail to read what’s right in front of me
With every verse i’m blinded by what’s to come
And what has come to be
Now we’re left holding a picture
Piece by piece
With silver tongues, they talk
As we listen to them spouting lies back and forth
Since all their ideals are gold that their truths can’t afford
So through the looking glass we flee
When deserts swallow all we see
We’re burning out of these sun-kissed bodies
So we stare into the breach that lies between
The pen, the page and this soliloquy
With an invitation from the deep
To join them in their sleep
We can’t see what we are, we only see what we want
This fallacy is just the start
We can’t see what we are, we only see what we want
This fallacy is just the start
With silver tongues, they talk
As we listen to them spouting lies back and forth
Because all their ideals are gold
With silver tongues, they talk
As we listen to them spouting lies back and forth
Since all their ideals are gold that their truths can’t afford
So through the looking glass we flee
When deserts swallow all we see
We’re burning out of these sun-kissed bodies
