Worthy Adversary Songtext
von The Tisburys

When the fires of burning light
Came through the walls and the ceiling
You turned your back to me
Could you right all of my wrongs?
If the heavens are real and the bible tells the truth
We′re both doomed
The devil's gonna come for me
Could you sing all of my songs?

You′re a worthy adversary
And I like the way you talk
Could we meet in halls of silence
Where the rooms aren't gonna fall?


When the water rises and the trees all die out
We'll both scream
For a failing masterpiece
Could this really be the end?
Take a handful of ashes and spread them
On a football field
Like a ticking timebomb
I could use another friend

You′re a worthy adversary
And I like the way you talk
Could we meet in halls of silence
Where the rooms aren′t gonna fall?

I'm a lazy exit flagger
With a suitcase in my hand
Are we here or are we flying
With a place in mind to land?

Please don′t go cause I can't live
All alone with the tears
I cry, all alone
Here in the dark, let′s go

You're a worthy adversary
And I like the way you talk
Could we meet in halls of silence
Where the rooms aren′t gonna fall?


I'm a lazy exit flagger
With a suitcase in my hand
Are we here or are we flying
With a place in mind to land?
