Aura lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Aura lyrics We all came back from the war         I wish somebody would tell me the score         We raked old Posiedon over the coals         Shook his shells, shaked his shoals         Where can a soldier fix himself a drink         Forget the noise, forget the stink         And the opium is running pretty low         Cause when the pain comes back, I don t want to know         Across yonder ocean the natives are fierce         Their ears are filled their teeth are pierced         But it s not their spears that spill your breath         They kill their enemies by loving them to death         We were on some battlefield         I felt something soft go through my shield         I felt something warm enter my guts         I was bleeding bad but there were no cuts         They captured three of us, took us back to their village         After a long long time I could decipher their language         They worshipped Baal, they worshipped the sun         They worshipped the son of the evil one         They were more than voracious, they sucked our ambition         They let me go on one condition         That was when I came back to my native shore         I tell you they don t want to play with us anymore         But a part of me will never be free         And the part that s free will never be me         But a thing of love and beauty is in my head         A message from my enemies, and here s what they said         They said that love = hate         And death = fate         An enemy always = an adorer         But priest = aura         And life = time         And time = space         And space = sublime         And human = race         Oh and woman = man         And pot = pan         The fauna ought to equal the flora         But priest = aura         And beginning = the end         The end always = the start         But straight = bent         The mind sometimes = the heart         And you = me         The land = the sea         Richer = poorer         And priest = aura song lyrics
