《A Mind’s Dying Verse(The Solitary Stone)(From The Method of Modern Love LP)》歌词

[00:00:00] A Mind's Dying Verse (the Solitary Stone)(From The Method of Modern Love LP) - Russian Futurists

[00:00:00] From towers and trees

[00:00:02] And churning seas

[00:00:05] Controlling nature's will

[00:00:08] From your window sill

[00:00:10] Past the glass

[00:00:11] The sun won't last

[00:00:14] And if you had your way

[00:00:17] They'd all be dismal days

[00:00:19] We'd stay inside

[00:00:21] Like you and hide

[00:00:23] And wish that things would change

[00:00:26] From behind window panes

[00:00:28] But grab the reigns

[00:00:30] And nurse those pains

[00:00:33] Because many years have past

[00:00:35] And your still stuck in last

[00:00:39] Initials carved in trees

[00:00:41] Representing you and me

[00:00:42] Are now lost

[00:00:44] And just washed

[00:00:45] Out like stones into the sea

[00:00:48] And boxes full of bones

[00:00:50] Resting under polished stones

[00:00:52] Represent

[00:00:54] A fallen soldier

[00:00:54] Left to die at war alone

[00:00:57] From the start your heart was cursed

[00:00:59] And the wine has made it worse

[00:01:02] And sixteen years

[00:01:03] Of captured tears

[00:01:04] Have formed a mind's dying verse

[00:01:07] It's a perversion of the arts

[00:01:09] And young men's hearts

[00:01:11] An abomination

[00:01:12] Of creation

[00:01:14] Tearing brilliant minds apart

[00:01:17] It's carved in bark

[00:01:19] Circled with hearts

[00:01:20] It's a testament

[00:01:23] To the love you've spent

[00:01:25] You cross it out

[00:01:27] When new loves sprout

[00:01:30] Or when they come to bloom

[00:01:33] You're leaving wooden tombs

[00:01:35] To leave a mark

[00:01:37] Of hearts you've sparked

[00:01:39] And turned to raging flames

[00:01:41] Until you're feelings change

[00:01:44] Now douse them fast

[00:01:46] But leave the ash

[00:01:48] Because it's a blackened pit

[00:01:51] That they won't forget

[00:01:53] Initials carved in trees

[00:01:56] Representing you and me

[00:01:58] Are now lost

[00:01:59] And just washed

[00:02:01] Out like stones into the sea

[00:02:04] And boxes full of bones

[00:02:05] Resting under polished stones

[00:02:07] Represent

[00:02:08] A fallen soldier

[00:02:11] Left to die at war alone

[00:02:13] From the start your heart was cursed

[00:02:16] And the wine has made it worse

[00:02:17] And sixteen years

[00:02:19] Of captured tears

[00:02:20] Have formed a mind's dying verse

[00:02:22] It's a perversion of the arts

[00:02:24] And young men's hearts

[00:02:27] An abomination

[00:02:28] Of creation

[00:02:29] Tearing brilliant minds apart

[00:02:33] Boxes of bones

[00:02:35] And polished stones

[00:02:36] Are all that we have left

[00:02:39] To commemorate the deaths

[00:02:41] Of child and man

[00:02:43] And life's cruel hand

[00:02:45] Has tightened up it's grip

[00:02:48] On your sinking ship

[00:02:51] Now flowers are left

[00:02:53] Where you now rest

[00:02:55] It's in a field alone

[00:02:57] A solitary stone

[00:03:00] It cracks and splits

[00:03:02] And the world forgets

[00:03:04] And goes about it's day

[00:03:07] In the usual way
