Our Cool Decay - Lanterns On The Lake

In a suite of armour we rust

Like the cool decay of both of us

In the flesh of another love

In the veins of a lost cause

Through the walls of an ancient town

I heard the sigh of a broken man

Like the flesh of another love

Or the veins of a lost cause

Through hunger, death and high waters

Through carnivals of thunder

Through glory and all that they warned me

Through the days when the cannon fire rained

And the lost friends

And the money we spent

The songs that we sang and words that we meant

I watched our cool decay
