The Ballad Of The Haunted Hearts

from Desolation Town EP by The Secret History

/

lyrics

There’s a vacancy on memory lane,
Tell the band I can’t go home again.
Swimming in silence after the last chord,
Playing Marco Polo with the Lord.
And all that loneliness illuminated,
It will be very clear to you tonight.
There, under the marquee where you waited,
To see your name all spelled out in lights.
But maybe baby you’re your own sign

Ladies and gentlemen
The Haunted Hearts
Ladies and gentlemen
The light that descends again
From your dead stars

Ophelia how long must I shine,
For the kingdom I have left behind.
Ophelia will sleepers arise?
When the ghost of what was good in me arrives.
To your eyes
And all that loneliness illuminated,
It will be very clear to you tonight.
There under the dark sea where you waited,
To see His name all spelled out in lights.
But maybe baby you’re your own sign.

Ladies and gentlemen
The Haunted Hearts
Ladies and gentlemen
The light that descends again
From your dead stars

The war against silence!
Poverty or providence
The flowers in the ruins of our youth?
The war against silence!
Violins or violence
Oh even we have something to lose...

Choose the music
Just sing
