marble lover of liberty
you’re my marble love of low degree
your jaw looks like it’s carved from stone
in your shadow I will stand alone
and while my heart’ll always stay a mess
when I touch your bones it hurts a little less
chorus:
why why why
my bottle sings
why why why
the gunshots ring
why why why
will you not let me see your wings
like Apollo you’re crowned by the sun
you speak of days that are still to come
your tongue is older than you’ll ever be
no alcohol has that effect on me
after all my prayers with a mouth full of wine
your stone-cold words still send shivers down my spine
now we finally know what’s going on
cause a non-existent god did wrong
with all our fingers dyed with blood
there’re still plenty of flags left to hold up
and if schoolboys manage to save this land
we’ll still be strangers that like to hold hands
chorus
rising sun all clad in red
I know this rising sun will set
and when you’ve fallen from the sky
I’ll be there to hold you tight
with cold white hands and broken skin
praying that heaven up above will let us in
and while the blood is seeping through your vest
the people say we have been blessed
a god has walked among us for some time
chorus
my my my
we were born to fall
my my my
still you tried to conquer them all
my my my
love isn’t worth your blood at all
