"Requiem For A Village" lyrics
"Requiem For A Village"
Born, never asked
Sun cuts through the fog, radiates in requiem
Tending the graves, six feet under with no mark except to rise and glance
Weekend love, kissing down by the cemetery
They rise and they dance with supremacy
They scream at the traffic on the motorway
Folklore making way for what's necessary
Did you dress like you've got some authority
I don't think you understand the severity
In the club where you lost your virginity
Now it's all just a question of paternity
They got kids vaping down by the nursery
Parents drown in helplessness and entropy
In the words of a man from the mental institution
Making movies for independent distribution
A trolley is standing at the edge of the seventies
Amount of people who can do just as they please
Behind the curtains of a boat collecting data buzzes
Swear to secrecy, the consequences of their surprises
Did you dress like you've got some authority
I don't think you understand the severity
In the club where you lost your virginity
Now it's all just a question of paternity
Living in the country, we're all fucked up
All dressed up like monkeys, we breed like dogs
We live in the past, we don't advance
Won't ever rest
So come with us
Living in the country, we're all fucked up
All dressed up like monkeys, we breed like dogs
We live in the past, we don't advance
Won't ever rest
So come with us

Caligula's Horse - "Love Conquers All" Need some time to make it right
Mountain mine, I lost my fight
Mountain mine, just give me time
The beast that I have become could set me free of this
If only I had the time, if only these hands...
David Gilmour - "Take A Breath" Take a breath
Take a deep breath now
Take a breath
A deep breath now
Take a breath
When you're down is where you find yourself
When you drown there's nothing else
If you're lost you'll need to turn...
Anathema - "Universal" Above the clouds
We flew to heaven
Through the eye of the storm
And into to the light
I see you
You're everywhere I go
In everything I do
I dreamed a thousand years
Just to be here where everything...
Blackfield - "From 44 To 48" Then between 13 and 17
I'd dreamed of all the things I'd be and how
I'd see you all from high on a mountain and know I could take it
Then between 19 and 21
I knew one day that I'd become someone
And...
Spock's Beard - "All That's Left" In dreams I reach to touch your perfect face again
In dreams you never cry or walk away
But I wake to the truth like daylight streaming in
I never found the way, the words to make you stay...
