Oh my love, what fools we are.
Can't you hear the softly tinkling laughter?
I can hear the sounds of bells
Or maybe its just the ringing
Left in rubble like the bombshells.
We've danced for kings and queens
Been cruel but never mean.
We've juggled knives slicked with blood
Ours or our enemies, we can't say
Noah didn't reveal the secret to his flood.
We've tumbled and we've fallen
Kingdoms, mice and men.
We've stolen every gem and picked every lock
By all means our heads should rest
Softly nestled by a chopping block.
But we run from Death, leaving trails
So we always know he's on our tail.
If he catches up, it won't be the first time we've fought
Bones against bones, skin against cloth.
Never looking back on the deeds that we've wrought.
So go on and laugh ,go on and smile
Be persuaded when she asks you to stay a while
They prepared a magnificent two act show
Although you must understand
That the second half never gets shown.
