Childish Salvation

from Don't Know How Else To Describe It by Loa & Koan

/

lyrics

every day now my dreams get more expensive
I dig my pockets but only come up with strange answers
couldn’t find no question
with every strange twist of the tongue
with every beat of the drum
it has become
clearer and clearer Démira:
each of the words i’ve sung
were as empty as a mirror reflecting a mirror
don’t know how else to describe it
it’s such a common feeling:
me and my friends talk of revolution
it should happen any day now
but we dream almost only
about childish salvation

the road to heaven was paved with bad intentions
I met my baby under circumstances too cruel to mention
a series of coincidences
(too unlikely i guess to be something else than
some mysterious work of grace)
had us meet by some barbed wired fences
she thought at first my face was someone elses
some boy gone missing
that she once loved and had been looking for
since the first day of the war
now she just smiled and took me by the arm
and said
”together, stranger, we’ll fly south”

the prayer's broken now
we know it won't work
the drum beats harder and harder
we keep singing the words
