Lurstaap Songtext
von Justin Sullivan & Friends
Lurstaap Songtext
When the visionary dreams set hard and grey
As flesh made into stone
You tore the statues to the ground
Crying, ′Let my people go'
And now they′re gone
All is gone
But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile
And once swallowed never made to spring
You can buy a crown, it doesn't make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring
Now twenty-five miles north in the green dark woods
The college buildings stand
And the ghosts of hope, they walk silent halls
At the death of the Promised Land
And all is gone
All is gone
But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile
The freedom passion and the two-faced call
They dance together upon the wall
With nothing left to break the fall
And in the shadows of the crowded square
A thousand paper deals go down
And hungry sharks from everywhere
Smell the blood and hit the town
Innocence starts to peel away
How money changes everything
The past it eats the future up
And this blind desire eats everything
So the lads they leave one stricken ship
For another sailing past
Your world was going nowhere slow
While ours goes nowhere fast
And now it's gone
All is gone
But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile
The freedom passion and the two-faced call
They dance together upon the wall
With nothing left to break the fall
Once swallowed never made to spring
You can buy a crown, it doesn′t make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring
The freedom passion and the two-faced call
They dance together on the famous wall
With nothing left to break the fall
As flesh made into stone
You tore the statues to the ground
Crying, ′Let my people go'
And now they′re gone
All is gone
But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile
And once swallowed never made to spring
You can buy a crown, it doesn't make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring
Now twenty-five miles north in the green dark woods
The college buildings stand
And the ghosts of hope, they walk silent halls
At the death of the Promised Land
And all is gone
All is gone
But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile
The freedom passion and the two-faced call
They dance together upon the wall
With nothing left to break the fall
And in the shadows of the crowded square
A thousand paper deals go down
And hungry sharks from everywhere
Smell the blood and hit the town
Innocence starts to peel away
How money changes everything
The past it eats the future up
And this blind desire eats everything
So the lads they leave one stricken ship
For another sailing past
Your world was going nowhere slow
While ours goes nowhere fast
And now it's gone
All is gone
But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile
The freedom passion and the two-faced call
They dance together upon the wall
With nothing left to break the fall
Once swallowed never made to spring
You can buy a crown, it doesn′t make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring
The freedom passion and the two-faced call
They dance together on the famous wall
With nothing left to break the fall
