Western Centuries - Philosophers and Fools lyrics

[Verse 1] We built the house that love builds And then we burned it to the ground We raked through all the embers But ash was all we found When love is built on tinder And it flirts with a flickering flame And all I've got left is my loneliness My heartache and my name [Chorus] No battle is ever won The end in sight almost never comes And seamless love is the construct of Philosophers and fools [Verse 2] A man who says he needs no aid With him I can't agree For he's never seen the glowing light Of a lighthouse from the sea He's never felt the tender Love in the heart of a storm And all he's got left is his loneliness And his new flame to stay warm [Chorus] No battle is ever won The end in sight almost never comes And seamless love is the construct of Philosophers and fools [Verse 3] Through all the wreckage and ruins Up rises the smoke of regret We realized as it stung our eyes Love's not through with us yet When love is built on tinder And it flirts with a flickering flame True love is never a constant, oh lord It never stays the same [Chorus] No battle is ever won The end in sight almost never comes And seamless love is the construct of Philosophers and fools Oh, seamless love is the construct of Philosophers and fools
