Praetorian Aureole

If we start at the beginning
We'll only get lost
We told ourselves so many stories and
Failed to calculate the cost
These lies belong to us
We raised them from the earth
Hidden by a masterful performance that
No one could observe yeah!

We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn't ours to decide
What life meant to us

So let's start at the end
Sober from the fountain of youth
The wounds may never mend, but still
I wanna drink the truth

We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn't ours to decide
What life meant to us
All the stained glass losing it's color
Praetorian aureole
Two people stare through a crystal barrier
Yeah!

Agnus dei, wasting away
A self delusion in decay

We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn't ours to decide
What life meant to us
All the stained glass losing it's color
Praetorian aureole
Two people stare through a crystal barrier
Yeah!
