The Wooden Sky - Requiem For Mary lyrics

If these buildings were fields I'd make sure they were ashes, Set fire to the stubble And piss on the flames. Leave no tower unscathed, Leave no street signs no lovers And find me a place for What's left of my name. We climbed atop the fence On the backs of a nation And looked out on the city Or of what it remained. Just a pile of old shoes Each abandoned by laces, Like Cain with no brothers Or his queen with no name. Mary please don't go and Get yourself all knocked up My hands don't have the strength To hold you up. We've been traveling down this road And now I'm afraid Mine is forking south, There's a lot of things we could say. We danced through the night Just to keep it together, Hid around the fires And shook off the blame. Chalked it up to our youth Just some reckless ambitions To burn down the lord We tried so hard to save.
