Blind me with distraction Build a frontier ÂŽcross the void All tomorrow been destroyed, in a breath I moved out to the country And I saw the scenery shake
As a summer parade meets its death And GodÂŽs assassins rode back into town And paved their way upon the cold ground Roses help me to pretend Blushing brides and cosmonauts DonÂŽt meet their bitter end Give me grace, oh Mother I have rumbled quite a feast Traced the footsteps of a priest in the snow But in my mindÂŽs picture Of every face Iâve ever loved Travel lightly suck their blood before they go And GodÂŽs assassins rode back into town And paved their way upon the cold ground Roses help me to pretend Blushing brides and cosmonauts Donât meet their bitter end Roses, roses, cannot do this any more
