about
I probably ought to let Matt talk about this song. For me it was an ecercise in trying to use not more than 2 strings at once on the guitar. Worked pretty well I think! (David Robson)
lyrics
I’d like to see, Seymour and Moore
Two of a kind – I’ve been here before
Red mist rising – I chart my course
For newfound land, where the sky combusts
Our dreams explored, striking a common chord
I want her for myself
But it’s in God – it’s in God she trusts
Our Bond is broken – are you sure?
Open invite – closing door
Red mist falling – the fabric fools
My reality’s rotten, my body armour rusts
Our dreams off-shored, screaming “over-board”
I want top be myself
But it’s in God – it’s in God she trusts
We can’t defy Solitaire
Deny our fate if you dare
It’s time to believe
I see your reprieve
We can’t defy Solitaire
Deny our fate if you dare
It’s time to forgive
We die and let live
The Lovers – The lust
The cards – The kiss
How much of yourself
Can you afford to give?
Two of a kind – I’ve been here before
Red mist rising – I chart my course
For newfound land, where the sky combusts
Our dreams explored, striking a common chord
I want her for myself
But it’s in God – it’s in God she trusts
Our Bond is broken – are you sure?
Open invite – closing door
Red mist falling – the fabric fools
My reality’s rotten, my body armour rusts
Our dreams off-shored, screaming “over-board”
I want top be myself
But it’s in God – it’s in God she trusts
We can’t defy Solitaire
Deny our fate if you dare
It’s time to believe
I see your reprieve
We can’t defy Solitaire
Deny our fate if you dare
It’s time to forgive
We die and let live
The Lovers – The lust
The cards – The kiss
How much of yourself
Can you afford to give?
