Keep The Dog Quiet Lyrics - Heartland - Owen Pallett

My body is a cage 

This union is a cage 

About a cage, about a cage 

And this, and this town too 

I'll see you once in a while but I can't be seen with you 

This place is a narrative mess 

A floor of tangle of bedsheets and battered sundress 

The ink has dried in the well 

The journey once was consequential 

You're sequential 

Sequential 

Sequential 

Sequential 

When will you silence your hounds? 

The eldest sons to the alter of the Eternal Sound 

Their blood is spilled at the dawn 

A nation bound to your will 

Still a violin plays on 

Plays its devotional song 

Once it was, once it was so essential 

You're sequential 

Sequential 

Sequential 

Sequential
