Royal Asiatic Society Lyrics
I've stood before this image of you
In a church that they condemned before they knew
With that illusion I wish I could hold
A rosette we drenched in meaning and then sold
Now you're wearing out from within
While the pastel shades of martyrdom are creeping through your skin
I think it's all we know
A seed that does not grow
Could be it just got got buried in the snow
But that's no way to live
With nothing left to give
Just reading from a script
Where was that truce we'd made with the sea
When all seven hills of Rome dared to conspire against our feet?
To all your antique gods, take all the tolls you want
The other side of this bridge is all we've got
But in case we don't get far
Or never even start
I've been praying for your heart
Though i don't know who you are
We all got left there underground
(just to age our way out)
And I pulled a thread I should have left
(I tangled up the answers)
Set out in stone what I have known
(I was still uncertain)
You understood, I wish I could
In a church that they condemned before they knew
A rosette we drenched in meaning and then sold
While the pastel shades of martyrdom are creeping through your skin
A seed that does not grow
Could be it just got got buried in the snow
With nothing left to give
Just reading from a script
When all seven hills of Rome dared to conspire against our feet?
The other side of this bridge is all we've got
Or never even start
I've been praying for your heart
Though i don't know who you are
(just to age our way out)
And I pulled a thread I should have left
(I tangled up the answers)
Set out in stone what I have known
(I was still uncertain)
You understood, I wish I could
