Rome - Swords To Rust - Hearts To Dust lyrics
[Rome - Swords To Rust - Hearts To Dust lyrics]
We shall let our songs drown
The rattle of the train
And the roaring of the crowd
We shall wet our throat with sticky dark wine
And toast this blood wedding so fine
To new horizons, to a new dawn
To a new and reckless generosity
For this, our land of the free
We shall win, die, or betray and turn
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
All blind and gone astray
Our envy, green as May
All smothered in wild flowers
We break the windows to breathe
That golden dawn is ours
For tonight, hesitation's on leave
To wear god down to flatten him out
To pray to no other
Parley with death to bury the crown
To silence all lovers we shall turn
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
All blind and gone astray
Our envy, green as May
"Schwerter zu rost herzen zu staub!
Dennoch die schwerter halten
Dennoch die herzen spalten"
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
All blind and gone astray
Our envy, green as May
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
The rattle of the train
And the roaring of the crowd
We shall wet our throat with sticky dark wine
And toast this blood wedding so fine
To new horizons, to a new dawn
To a new and reckless generosity
For this, our land of the free
We shall win, die, or betray and turn
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
All blind and gone astray
Our envy, green as May
All smothered in wild flowers
We break the windows to breathe
That golden dawn is ours
For tonight, hesitation's on leave
To wear god down to flatten him out
To pray to no other
Parley with death to bury the crown
To silence all lovers we shall turn
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
All blind and gone astray
Our envy, green as May
"Schwerter zu rost herzen zu staub!
Dennoch die schwerter halten
Dennoch die herzen spalten"
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
All blind and gone astray
Our envy, green as May
Swords to rust, hearts to dust
In vain, to write our name in blood
And in flowers of flame
