"THOSE ANCIENT ROADS" lyrics

Lapis lazuli and lovers
Bite of an asp in the covers
Better beware of your brother
Where solipsism reigns

I wonder is anything changing
Same old refrain different cadence
Is time just a great rearrangement of echos long ago?

Is it the same old story told?
Are we just stumbling down the same old roads?
Fighting over fire til the world grows cold oh
Say it isn't so
Those ancient roads

Love not a dream but so fragile
And the heart is so cunning and agile
Longs for another a while
Til self falls in love with denial

Oh we in our infinite wisdom
We like the story of Eden
Still thinking the best fruits forbidden
Now living out loss getting even

And I fear it in my soul
Take for ourselves that's where the love gets sold
Can't share the warmth cause we can't share the cold oh
Say isn't so
Those ancient roads...

Well I read a book and it read me
Reflected in part with each story
Those ancient roads stretching before me
Like history as sticky as honey

But I'll place a flower in your hair
And we'll dance the hills in the suns glare
And I'll call your feelings my own cares
And we'll take the road that all dreams dare

We'll take the road that all dreams dare
