Church - Aura Lyrics
We all came back from the warI wish somebody would tell me the scoreWe raked old poseidon over the coalsShook his shells, shaved his shoalsWhere can a soldier fix himself a drinkForget the noise, forget the stinkAnd the opium is running pretty lowcause when the pain comes back, I dont want to knowAcross yonder ocean the natives are fierceTheir ears are filled their teeth are piercedBut its not their spears that spill your breathThey kill their enemies by loving them to deathWe were on some battlefieldI felt something soft go through my shieldI felt something warm enter my gutsI was bleeding bad but there were no cutsThey captured three of us, took us back to their villageAfter a long long time I could decipher their languageThey worshipped baal, they worshipped the sunThey worshipped the son of the evil oneThey were more than voracious, they sucked our ambitionThey let me go on one conditionThat was when I came back to my native shoreI tell you they dont want to play with us anymoreBut a part of me will never be freeAnd the part thats free will never be meBut a thing of love and beauty is in my headA message from my enemies, and heres what they saidThey said that love = hateAnd death = fateAn enemy always = an adorerBut priest = auraAnd life = timeAnd time = spaceAnd space = sublimeAnd human = raceOh and woman = manAnd pot = panThe fauna ought to equal the floraBut priest = auraAnd beginning = the endThe end always = the startBut straight = bentThe mind sometimes = the heartAnd you = meThe land = the seaRicher = poorerAnd priest = aura
