Lurhstaap - 2005 Remastered Version

One swallow never made a spring
You can buy a crown, it doesn't make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring

When the visionary dreams set hard and gray, as flesh made into stone
You tore the statues to the ground crying, let my people go
Now they're gone, all is gone
But these changing winds can turn cold and hostile

The freedom, passion and the two-faced call
They dance together upon the wall
With nothing left to break the fall

Now twenty-five miles north in the great dark woods
The college buildings stand
And the ghosts of hope walk silent halls
At the death of the Promised Land

All is gone, all is gone
But these changing winds can turn cold and hostile

One swallow never made a spring
You can buy a crown, it doesn't make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring

In the shadows of the crowded square, a thousand paper deals go down
And hungry sharks from everywhere, smell the blood and head for town
Innocence starts to peel away, how money changes everything
The past, it eats the future up and this blind desire eats everything

Now the rats, they leave one stricken ship for another sailing past
Your world was going nowhere slow, while ours goes nowhere fast
And now it's gone, all is gone
And these changing winds can grow cold and hostile

The freedom, passion and the two-faced call
They dance together upon the wall
With nothing left to break the fall

One swallow never made a spring
You can buy a crown, it doesn't make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring

The freedom, passion and the two-faced call
They dance together on the famous wall
With nothing left to break the fall
