Coil - Solar Lodge lyrics

rate me

Roman land<br />

Of Roman sands<br />

And Roman sons.<br />

As I watch the sun<br />

Sink down<br />

On the bloodred edge<br />

Of the bloodred town<br />

There are shadows<br />

For sale<br />

On the edge of town<br />

At the edge of the night<br />

Is a darkness seen<br />

From the side<br />

Of the light<br />

(From the side<br />

Of the night).<br />

And the winds<br />

Blow round<br />

This sleeping town<br />

This sleeping town<br />

This Roman land<br />

Of Roman sands<br />

And Roman sons.<br />

And it seems to me<br />

That when I<br />

Close my eyes<br />

All the lights in the world<br />

Go out<br />

And the night<br />

Passes by<br />

And you whisper to me<br />

A thousand lies<br />

I stare in surprise<br />

Towards the desert's<br />

Warm black<br />

And the desert stirs<br />

And the desert stares<br />

Back<br />

With a thousand eyes<br />

Piercing eyes<br />

Ancient eyes<br />

And I ask my lover
