For the Cold Country lyrics
by Black Country, New Road
Watch the kite, it slows, then falls
Into the fight, the metal-clad knight
He roars then groans
Then crawls into a hole where he toiled and recoiled
About all that he had failed
The accolade that he betrayed
Now he decayed in the dark cave
Oh, so afraid was the brigade
Everything fades, oh
What will remain
Where's the way?
Where is the way?
Hey, anyone therе?
I'll take off my armor
If you promise to stay
Wipe your weeping еyes
Lantern lights alight
And the life I thought I'd lived
And the place I thought I'd been
I defend and accuse
But it's me that brings down
The heavy armor
The gargoyle begins to behave on its own
Then my arm turns to wood
Roots wrap 'round my wrist
Kite strings burn my palms
I am proud to know you
Could I make a cup of coffee?
Can I sit down next to you?
I might not speak for a while
But, just to be here with you, be with you
I might not be the best rider or a fighter
But I think I'd like to be a little lighter
I could try to throw off the iron helmet
And indulge in memories
May cavalries rest their heads, make their beds out in the treetops
And the treason
That I lost is
Still what they win
There must be
Little beacon the beacon
Reach back cause we bleed on the blade I left
I take my shield
And blade off of me
Melt the silver down
I'll make you a crown
Then the wind stops, the clock ticks on
My stiffened heart grows tighter
I search from the moon
And down towards the fish
And the tide and the moon
Have their own alliance
I stood with my ghost
We tried to hold the kite
My wooden hand, my wooden heart
Now all the fights are fought
And moments gone
But still, they must be here
They must
But, are you there?
Can you see me?
Are you listening?
Won't you stay?
The wind’s blowing on
The wing’s that we’ve flown
The winds from afar then he [?] it
Grow tall through the sky
Treading me by in the trees
[?]
But our hands switch
Down to the ground
