Celine in Jerusalem - Rome

The road is alight with quiet lonely deaths

And to this day, the guns we stored away show we were soldiers once

But left the battles unfought, the lessons untaught

But now we’ve brought you here, Celine

Scarred with festival wounds

And it seems like…

It’s not an easy thing to hold you close

It’s not an easy thing to hold you dear

It’s not an easy thing to lift you up, regardless

It’s not an easy thing to hold you down

And it’s all in the fight

And it’s quite like the old men said:

It’s all going to hell like innocence,

That dumb leper who lost his bell

You’re wandering the world meaning no harm

Finding no calm

War like peace is tidy and cleat at a distance

Yet still it seems like…

It’s not an easy thing to hold you close

It’s not an easy thing to hold you dear

It’s not an easy thing to lift you up, regardless

It’s not an easy thing to hold you down

Hand in hand, with measured steps and slow

We take the solitary way

Earthly strong and earthly wise

Now go name your fate

Name your demise

It’s not an easy thing to hold you close

It’s not an easy thing to hold you dear

It’s not an easy thing to lift you up, regardless

It’s not an easy thing to hold you down
