Strength & Beauty Advance Listening

Home is just a place I used to be Til you came into port, golden eyes and smiling brightly My list it isn’t long and you are on it I insist upon this song and now you’re gone gone gone As the swallows in the air beat this rhythm The time it passes slowly as the winds on which we linger Leave us lonely never blowing to the place where we would wish them My mission is a simple one and you are its fruition I never stopped sinning The bloodhounds on my scent Never knew what they were missing As they came and went Been living long years of the fruits of my volition Love-sick, heat-struck, or some other condition Waiting by your bedside for your light to shine on me I’ll be there every night And in the early morning I’ll walk down to the sea Stay there for hours Til the sun starts to bleed I ask you what you need And you turn the other cheek Doesn’t matter what you’ve done I don’t care where you’ve been Now home is where I aim to be Safely into port with your loving arms around me My list it isn’t long and you are on it I insist upon this song and now you’re gone gone gone

Juliet 04:02
Yesterday, you told me what I could never hope to hear In an angry haze, your smoky voice resplendent in my ear The characters we want to play, two star-crossed lovers Died in each other’s arms before the second act began Address the council, tell your sisters and your brother I knew it wouldn’t be long until I ran again Come with me, we’ll burn this broken city to the ground Cheek to cheek, we’ll dance as our insides feed the fires all around The stage was set, the city wept, the concrete crawling And dreamt about in fitful bouts one thousand miles away You’d beat my chest and scream aloud as night came falling I knew it wouldn’t be long ‘til you came back again The sum of the words that you say Incite my mind to smoulder Trusting and truthful, a whispering wind Will blow it all away Throw it on the fire and blow it all away

With my feet on the ground, I could tell you that I loved you. With my heart in my hands, I could look you in the eye. Sleeping softly on your doorstep with a bottle in my trembling hands My head upon your lap in the same here but another when You’re an angel. I’m a saint. From your throne up in the sky, you’ve ruined us with your stupid game I’m screaming for some time As on the road, the motorists pass by Lai die die I dropped my lucky coin off in the river we once swam in I dropped bombs on the city where I scrubbed away my sorrows Can’t stop the memories come flooding down upon me Of a future stolen softly in the night It seemed to me the sun would rise again tomorrow One more revolution, a second last revolt So rise up, you slaves Feel the golden dawn and storm the castle walls Open your eyes, you slaves Or you will never see that you are free That home isn’t just anywhere you sleep Lai die die
