philistine - washington irving (uk) lyrics
[verse 1]
i don’t wanna need you
i hold myself like an older man
do you know where they’re taking us to
i fear the sea and this cursed land
[verse 2]
you know how i love a battle
and how i drunk myself in shape
can you hear the death train rattle
to the abattoir the wars have made
[chorus]
the evil of [?] has led us
to take this desperate course
[verse 3]
i no longer know you
but i see your lips shape my name
you’re standing by the frozen railing
may i never lie, forever amen
[verse 4]
i’ll drink my way down to london
and hear the sighs i never heard
you’re speaking with the darkness
and i can hear every word
[chorus]
the evil of [?] has led us
to take this desperate course
i hold out my hands from the death train
filled with and fear and the great [?]
do you hear it now
[coda]
this is all i ever wanted
as i put my jacket on
[?]
[?]
i alight at the blacked*out station
there is no*one else around
when i was young, men were different
before the secrets of the earth were found
