Rome - Les îles noires lyrics

The wars are moving north To our isles of green Through countries washed out By storms of steel But they shall not pa** - we shall not yield For freedom is a love not proved In the letting go For all they ever allow us to be Is an alibi, a breath mint for greed Thus we live gravely, thus we die slowly Thus we hide in self-control We who came out here To give an empire to this loneliness That surrounds and enslaves Defines and degrades us Say we're mad with hope, say it's all but smoke Say we're all gonna perish in the snows Take this vow with me To stay close, to be near To be oh so sincere Take this vow with me For you must know There's nothing left around here And so you toss a coin at every turn To know what bridge to cross What bridge to burn Along the towers, on the riverbanks of France With spain still in our hearts While we're wondering why we are all So quick to seperate Sex and love but not church and state And why they have made All of us slaves to gold and to debt To fears and regrets Take this vow with me To stay close, to be near To be oh so sincere Take this vow with me For you must know There's nothing left around here For we were not born to live their lie In houses built to keep the tv dry So to make you see, to make us heard We'll have to rebuild our islands word by word Take this vow with me To stay close, to be near To be oh so sincere Take this vow with me For you of all people must know There's nothing left around here
