Letra de Until Olympius Returns (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 4)
Go through the motions Every day out in the square Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air Nod in agreement when the tyrant holds forth Look for a beacon from the NorthProtect yourself Vouch for every member of the team This is just a momentary ripple in the streamJoin in the rebuilding Sing loudly at your labor Make friends with the new guys Be nice to your neighbor Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state Taste everything they feed you Say it tastes real greatSpit it down your sleeve Every time you get the chance This is just a brief improvisation in the danceRaise up the columns Take the statues down Praise the columns Spread the word around townBehold the temple where the old one stood Is it not a thing of beauty Don't it make you feel good? Is it not a thing of splendor for the whole world to see? Don't it make you feel important? Don't it make you feel free?We are gonna be right here On the day it finally burns Everybody hold a spot Until Olympius returns Yeah!I messed up a lyric but honestly, it's never been played live, so that's what was gonna happen if were actually Playing in front of a live audience anyway, so I stand by my-my, my lyrical mistake, I stand by it, uh (We're standing by that?) We're standing by it, I'm calling it right here, uhm, so-so uh, the deal with Olympius is like, they're-they're-they're tearing down all These pagan monuments right so they're now building uh-uh, Christian stuff, right? And-and pagans are being constricted to do this, right? But their position is that like "When Olympius gets back, we're gonna take all this stuff back down" we're-we're They're-they're pretending to be company men, right, it's a-, I'm very into this story So, uhm, what do I got next? Uhm, this called, "The young thousands"
