I Will Return – Daniel Amos – letras

And the city stoodIn a glowing splendor’Til her ashes were laid in an urnBeneath a fast food counterI will returnThe descendants were bornAnd they danced their dancesThen the sound of their stumbling was greatTilting the world on it’s axisI will returnAnd the women gazed in their mirrorsSuitors brought them vials of perfume(Quiet lives of desperation)Then golden-haired locusts with the faces of angelsSealed each of them up in a metal cocoonAnd the life ran outJust when it all seemed betterHere is a display in a granite museumA shame on view foreverI will return, I will returnAnd the birdcage was eventually openedA great flock of nuns flew away (Meeting no one’s expectations)And the saints who had slept on a head of a pinCame down from the sky at the end of all daysAnd the city stoodIn a glowing splendor’Til her ashes were laid in an urnBeneath a fast food counterI will return (I will be coming like a thief in the night)I will return (I will be coming like a thief in the night)…
