lyrics

But only the arms bearer could carry his banner or standard in the age of Chivalry
The Cross of Saint George
The Lion of Saint Mark
Saint Peter with his Keys
Saint Paul with his Books
Saint George Slaying A Dragon
but only the arms bearer could carry his banner or standard.

This sounds like running around
You’ll feel bad on Monday
for being so damn impressive.

Even if I’m strong it’s like I’m standing on a wagon
It’s that bad feeling that can’t have an answer but always shows up.
It’s that time of year to be alone.
Even if I’m strong I’m falling in and out of balance
Mm, must be that time of year to be alone.

You squeezed your tongue
so smooth that it keyed any lock,
steeled as an unyeilding memory walker
finding eternal company with
the children of children who memorize and memorize and memorize
your folklore by flashcard.

This sounds like running around
You’ll feel bad on Monday
for being so damn impressive.

Even if I’m strong it’s like I’m standing on a wagon
It’s that bad feeling that can’t have an answer -
Must be that time of year to be alone.
Even if I’m strong I’m falling in and out of balance
Mm, must be that time of year to be alone.

Inky gossiper gallops across pages,
History remembering its famous faces,
but here, now, there is no pen,
and your children’s children will not recognize them.

There’s a Leak In the Shielding
once the forest claims back its sword, sworn of
Saturn’s secrets
none smooth tongue can hope to
unlock anymore.

There’s a leak in the shielding.
