Lurhstaap Lyrics - New Model Army

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 grey as flesh made into stone 

You tore the statues to the ground crying - let my people go 

And 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 

And 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 

But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile
