lyrics

Brazen mountain fires
Congregate the lonely choir
In chancels of the pinewood
Armando steps into the light
The flames fawn the gentle sky above
Selvacava is breathing
Way down by the riverside
The Few have heard her whisper
They point towards the theatre cry So, you couldn’t leave this time?
Did the visions feel so, so real?
Couldn’t bare to, couldn't bare to live without it

Umberto spirals down to the empty bus stop
Where you trace over Ausonia’s moonlit eyes
You climb the windows to the tile tops
Where you glide to meet her gazing at the starlight
Her baton tames the lightning bolts
Silent as they pirouette and parade the sky tides past the Apennines
And you lie down with her
And you lie
And you lie
And you lie!

And you lie here as the night is ruptured by the thunder!
The choir song howlin’ now
Paintings fall from your marble hallway
Embers, ashes, traces of their faces
Beg to stay then are forgotten
Your heart aching for the one so unbounded
You beg for her awakening
For she is but a whisper
And you escape the ruins to find her
You rejoin The Few
And The Shadows they all wait for you

Sonny, let your fingers run the walls
May your love survive
And have the final dance
In my world
Nobody else is here
Nobody, no, nobody else is here
Oh God, oh God
