The Concubine Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Mirbehr 

Cover art for The Concubine lyrics by Beirut

I hear it as:

I've been told, tied, one child, await for Rome to spare. I can wait, child and write "Its only an Empire long beheaded." I am grateful, roaming and so I long for your beacon Either side, Ere I rest tonight.

Round Autumn falls down And I can hear the sound (?) Oh autumn whirls around Autumn falls down Autumn goes down

and past that it gets a bit messy...
