Seraphina Songtext
von Ed Harcourt

Wings of desire have been burnt black with fire
And the day is dark
Gods have been broken, and hearts have been opened to show who we are

Friends in a shell who have deadened themselves without meaning to
Twain, he was right, it′s the size of the fight in the dog
And in you

Oh, Seraphina
Have you come to free us
From the grief we share with love, love, love?

Build something beautiful, and small minds will turn on
The wrecking ball
Fly to the Moon in a row boat
And they'll cheer your fall

Dancing like narcissists trapped in a carnival′s looking glass
Smash it all up, seven years of bad luck will disappear into the past


Oh, Seraphina
Have you come to free us
From the grief we share with love, love, love?
Oh, Seraphina
Please don't deceive us
For we dream a little too much

Darling, can't you see that I′ve been lost for a very long time
I need you now to shake me awake, and drag me into the light

Wings of desire have been burnt black with fire
And the day′s not dark
Laws have been broken, and hearts have been taken to task
Friends who have gone, who've shone far too brightly, are waiting there
All we can do is condemn ourselves to all the truths we swear

Oh, Seraphina
Have you come to free us
From the grief that we share with love, love, love?
Oh, Seraphina
Please don′t deceive us
For we dream a little too much

Oh, Seraphina
Oh, Seraphina
