Neue Erinnerung - Rome

Our cause so sweet and bitter

Has lost its hard blood glitter

It remains afloat on the waves

When anger fills our sails

Mutinous for the space of a second

You prayed and feared and beckoned

Now your heart is pounding away

Just like mine…

Should i accept this out of kindness?

Should i reject it out of shyness?

Your sleep is stabbed by dreams

Just like mine

Should i accept this out of kindness?

Should i reject it out of shyness?

Your gift so pure and sweet

Unlike mine

To thank you for what you’ve brought

We lure you close enough for a sword

And just for a little while

I betray you without guile

Your secret prayer scattering the smoke

Made you squeal, made us hide the rope

Now all fear, all hope is gone

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Should i accept this out of kindness?

Should i reject it out of shyness?

Your sleep is stabbed by dreams

Just like mine

Should i accept this out of kindness?

Should i reject it out of shyness?

Your gift so pure and sweet

Unlike mine
