Armed Songtext
von The Man-Eating Tree

I do not know why
I am giving this to you
But here it is;
The number of days left

Instead of an ocean of time
I painted, painted a house
Around you
And locked the door
Left you at the shore
Until came
Came the flood

No more can time bring mercy, mercy
Forgiveness
Ghosts can choose their houses to haunt

The thought of time passing
Opened it for me
I had never known what I need
Or heard what you really meant


By saying, saying that I live a house
That would collapse
By any minute to come
As if washed
Washed away

No more can time bring mercy, mercy
Forgiveness
Ghosts can choose their houses to haunt
Or time be disarmed
Like a weapon to standstill
And from these shores of time
We would be exiled into

A place where things
Obey rules laid down
And laws that are
Heavy like walls of stone

Like the shores
Washed by flood

No more can time bring mercy, mercy
Forgiveness
Ghosts can choose their houses to haunt

No more can time bring mercy, mercy
Forgiveness
Ghosts can choose their houses to haunt


Heavy like walls of stone
