Brian Cullman - Beneath the Coliseum lyrics

[Verse 1] We come from different ages Hungry for the gutters of the town Looking for our faces in the rocks And broken columns on the ground Now we stand beside the bones of men Beside the bones of gods Waiting for the ghosts that live in history's backyard We k**ed them once before The second time it shouldn't be so hard [Chorus] But if we lie here who will sleep with us If we cry here who will see through us If we die here who will speak to us of mysteries Show us that our history is a fabric That get's torn right at the seams But some day we won't be far from her A foreigner beneath the coliseum Yes some day we'll be a part of her Foreigners beneath the coliseum [Verse 2] Now when you first left your family You held your pa**port so tight And you had your picture taken Standing by the ruins of my life As you shuffled through the deck And open with the queen of hearts You can feel your mother's eyes In the pictures of the cards You k**ed her once before The second time it shouldn't be so hard [Chorus] But if you lie here who will sleep with you If you cry here who will see through you If you die here who will speak to you and take your hands Try to very gently sand the edges Off of all your mother's dreams Well someday you won't be far from her A foreigner beneath the coliseum Someday you won't be far from here A foreigner beneath the coliseum [Verse 3] Well now the evening lamps are being lit And the streets are filled with soldiers Young girls go into dark young face and come out so much older But like statues that have lost their arms And temples with no gods They only know their distance From the things they haven't got They lose more every night By now you think it wouldn't be so hard [Chorus] But if I lie here who will sleep with me If I cry here who will see through me If I die here who will save me from my innocence Try to tell me what she meant When she said where the money that God forgot to spend Well someday I won't be far from her A foreigner beneath the coliseum Someday I won't be far from her A foreigner beneath the coliseum Someday I won't be far from her A foreigner beneath the coliseum
