Our Eternal Ghosts

Won't Be Long

by Deadman

on Our Eternal Ghosts (2005)

Diamonds called out to you
And wanted to seduce you
When you were vulnerable
Rubies red and shimmering
And riches incomprehensible
Catch you when you stop to breathe
Catch you in the web they weave

But they won't be long
They won't be long
They won't belong to this world
They won't be long

'Cause once you've tasted from the tree
Eve's candy apple will you eat
I saw a city from afar
She tempted me to enter her
The teaming lights that looked like stars
Reaching for me from afar
And in her gates they greet you with psalms
They treat you like the king of the world

'Cause it won't be long
It won't be long
It won't belong to this world
It won't be long

'Cause shadows rise and shadows fall
What once was clear isn't clear at all
'Cause you're out there burning at the stake
You got to get right back don't hesitate
Post modern flag flies in the sky
Changing colours before your eyes
And if you believe only with your eyes
You might find out they were telling lies
Telling lies
Telling lies
