Coeur d'Alene

(album: Nocturnal Masquerade - 2016)

Could we ever live like this
When our backs are turned to the green abyss?
And now I'm staring over the shore
Chin up, back straight, wanting more

Take me out of this house before I lose my mind, take this down
Take me out of this house before I lose my mind, take this down

You can't take me out of this! I forfeit! Yeah I'm out
You can't take me out of this! I forfeit! So, yeah!

(Push into the vintner's glow)
I'm tearing down the vines again
(Tearing it down, it's wearing me down)

Waiting on the light to go
Something's telling me to heed the snow
I'm pushing forth into the vintner's glow
I want drink the blood of ancient man

And did you ever hear the clock
When it smiles in the night?
And have you ever seen the clock?
You know when something ain't right

With a vintner's sneer
And a lucky man like me
I know you're cavalier
And a piece of shit like me

Calls from far away, they band with cold teeth
Wait for the vein, til' the blood of everything is all I wanted, all of it
Calm down now, please hold me, warm my teeth

Nah, fuck it!

Could we ever live like this?
When our backs are turned to the green abyss?
And now I'm staring over the shore
Chin up, back straight, wanting more

Could we ever live like this?
When our backs are turned, yeah could we live like this?
You know, now I'm staring over the shore
I got my chin up, back straight, and nothing more
Yeah!
I'm tearing down the vines again

[Instrumental break]

Gaze into the vintner's glow
History tells us to heed the snow
Song and dance to pass the time
Grins and smiles, "My, Oh My!"
Nursery rhymes with cursory lines
Look at us laugh, "My, Oh My! Oh yes, time has flied"

Song and dance to pass the time
Grins and smiles, "My, Oh My!"
Nursery rhymes with cursory lines
Look at us laugh, "My, Oh My! Oh yes, time has flied", could we ever live like this?
