Disciple - Romance Me Lyrics

Romance me, ransom me

Is solace a hopeless crusade
The grandeur of a raping plague
A portrait that is best forgotten
Bed of fire for the dying orphans

Is there a bridge for the endless mote?
A river for the arid throat?
A sun for the winter flower?
A knight in the weeping hour?

The poison sails on ships
With pain my veins have never known
My eyes have seen the glory of the antidote
A love lifted, the curse has left its birthplace

Romance me, ransom me
A love lifted, in paradise remember me
Romance me, ransom me

The idol that birthed betrayal
Where eulogies have littered the trail
A song that is sung with a forked tongue
Blackballed by the angels

And we're dropping like flies
An assault to the eyes
Spraying death in every direction
This infection's a torrential tide

The poison sails on ships
With pain my veins have never known
My eyes have seen the glory of the antidote
A love lifted, the curse has left its birthplace

Romance me, ransom me
A love lifted, in paradise remember me
Romance me, ransom me

Amazing, sweet mercy
Romance me, ransom me
Amazing, sweet mercy
Romance me, ransom me

The curse has left its birthplace

Romance me, ransom me
A love lifted, in paradise remember me
Romance me, ransom me

And we're dropping like flies
An assault to the eyes
