lyrics

Courtyard

A pastoral sound convinced of a crime
Tearing away down
Central Boulevard
A cusp of the great
one, hand held high
Motion towards the
past, sight unseen

The effervescent
sound multiplies infinitely

Brace this, brace
this and run
collapse between
the choice of a lifetime
Enter the stream of
love’s embrace
Brace this, brace
this and run

Parrying forth,
light unto death
Staying the time of
need, against the rain
Marry the ones, who
told the story
Tales of yore,
foretold with a smile

A longing unto
terror calls a purpose to his name

Brace this, brace
this and run
collapse between
the choice of a lifetime
Enter the
stream of love’s embrace
Brace this, brace
this and run

Growing thunderous,
chin up high
sifting the sun
before, the wake of an age
Carry forth,
the child is born
Cast your doubt,
the need has come and gone

A single shaded
lamp post light reveals a distant scream

Brace this, brace
this and run
collapse between
the choice of a lifetime
Enter the stream of
love’s embrace
Brace this, brace
this and run
