New Model Army - Lurhstaap Lyrics
One swallow never made a springYou can buy a crown - it doesn't make you kingBeware the trinkets that we bringWhen the visionary dreams set hard and grey as flesh made into stoneYou tore the statues to the ground crying - let my people goAnd now they're gone, all is goneBut these changing winds can turn cold and hostileThe freedom passion and the two faced callThey dance together upon the wallWith nothing left to break the fallNow twenty-five miles north in the great dark woodsThe college buildings standAnd the ghosts of hope walk silent halls at the death of the Promised LandAll is gone, all is goneBut these changing winds can turn cold and hostileAnd in the shadows of the crowded square, a thousand paper deals go downAnd hungry sharks from everywhere smell the blood and head for townInnocence starts to peel away - How money changes everythingThe past it eats the future up and this blind desire eats everythingNow the rats they leave one stricken ship for another sailing pastYour world was going nowhere slow while ours goes nowhere fastAnd now it's gone, all is gone
