The Oh Hellos - Eurus lyrics
[The Oh Hellos - Eurus lyrics]
Spinning that stone uphill again
Like atonement for a bygone sin
Under the weight of it, my bones
Are cracking like a dry branch
In a westward wind
But Zeus and his pantheon of kin
Take the first nine out of every ten
Minas, like lightning changing hands
It all returns back to his pockets
In the end
You can't take any gold or
Rings further than the grave
Nothing we make can we bring
But still the bait hanging from the
String is calling my name
And like the wind it slips again
Out of my fingers
As Fortuna sit's idly by
I spin her wheel with all my might
Crushing my kin for warring-wage
Minted from the ivory of your tooth and eye
Under the table where she dines
I sit hungry with my mouth foamed white
Fighting for crumbs that trickle down
As she finishes her cake
Then takes a bite from mine
You can't take any gold or
Rings further than the grave
Nothing we make can we bring
But still the bait hanging from the
String is calling my name
And like the wind it slips again
Out of my fingers
Like atonement for a bygone sin
Under the weight of it, my bones
Are cracking like a dry branch
In a westward wind
But Zeus and his pantheon of kin
Take the first nine out of every ten
Minas, like lightning changing hands
It all returns back to his pockets
In the end
You can't take any gold or
Rings further than the grave
Nothing we make can we bring
But still the bait hanging from the
String is calling my name
And like the wind it slips again
Out of my fingers
As Fortuna sit's idly by
I spin her wheel with all my might
Crushing my kin for warring-wage
Minted from the ivory of your tooth and eye
Under the table where she dines
I sit hungry with my mouth foamed white
Fighting for crumbs that trickle down
As she finishes her cake
Then takes a bite from mine
You can't take any gold or
Rings further than the grave
Nothing we make can we bring
But still the bait hanging from the
String is calling my name
And like the wind it slips again
Out of my fingers
