CALIGULA'S HORSE LYRICS

1. Bloom

Day on day and night is gentle kind,
We are not what we have left behind,
We stumble upeard led by the blind,
I know, I know.

Still she carries on that perfect dance,
The world grows brighter here in my hands,
In her bright color I understand,
She moves, she moves.

Guilty man been searching for a cause,
This empty room is filled with applause,
Better or worse, I'm not what I was,
I know, I know.

On your feet now,
Wake up, wake up
And soon you'll see that
All hope is not lost
It's yours

Oh, you have what you need in you,
Just let it grow
You have what you need
It's yours
Let it grow,
Wake up, wake up
Believe, all hope is not lost
Not lost

2. Marigold

Take it all,
I never needed any more than days on days and gentle nights
When nothing could stop me.

Keep it safe,
Taking secrets to the grave.

When I was the king,
Just for that one day,
When nothing could stop me.

Feed my soul.
Force a smile.
Ignore the hole,
Wishing like hell that I was still god,
With nothing above me.

Read my eyes,
Weary lines.
Taking what's mine,
Just soil below and nothing above me.

Feed my soul, marigold.
I'd rather starve than choke what's killing me down...

Give me heresy.
We were never told the truth...
The world that spoke, calm these hands,
Before they can reach your throat.
Give me eyes to see her never growing old.
Good news!
They hope you choke!
Take heart.
It's all fool's gold...
Leave me there.
Pockets full of empty air
Paying my penance, curse this prayer,
Regret never touched me.
She will stay, dressed in choices that I made.
Head like a king, but crown like a gravestone, don't touch me, feed my soul. marigold.

I'd rather starve than choke what's killing me down...

Give me heresy.
We were never told the truth...
The world that spoke, calm these hands,
Before they can reach your throat.
Give me eyes to see her never growing old.
Good news!
They hope you choke!
Take heart.
It's all fool's gold...

With these hands, I could change the world.
More than gold, more that I deserve.
With these hands, I could change the world.
I am a wealthy man, I am loved.
Tell me hope's not lost.
Soon you'll see I can't take it with me.
When to nothing I fade, gone, borne by the choices I made.
Wake up, wake up, and soon you'll see that all hope is not lost.
Not gone.

3. Firelight

The stars will fade, the sun will rise,
But I'll remember you were my firelight.
The lucky ones, we were born,
We will not be here for long.

Been waiting on a sign of life,
An "everything is alright".
Gone with the sun.
Voices as one.
And in the moment we will carry that light on.

This is for the ones who burned so short, and so bright.
I have never been so sure.
You're firelight.
How could this all last,
When we burn so brightly?
Friends, give me your hands,
Raise your voices with me.
We'll escape like spark and shadow,
Knowing that the world will end.
I will say, "The stars will fade,
The sun will rise, but I'll remember you were my firelight."

This is for the ones who burned so short, and so bright.
I have never been so sure.
You're firelight.
How could this all last,
When we burn so brightly?
Friends, give me your hands,
Raise your voices with me.

How could this all last,
When we burn so brightly?
Friends, give me your hands,
And remember with me.

4. Dragonfly

So she is running still,
And I am held here in her spark.
Earthquakes and easy pace,
Echoes that left their precious mark.
And she smiles like an open grave,
Mercy.

Won't you beckon me into you...
Winter, my dragonfly.
Letting me drown here for a while.
Earthquakes and easy pace,
What I would give,
Just one more taste.
Shiver, winter, my dragonfly.
Peace in porcelain,
Wild like wine.
Drink my fill of your precious purpose.
Let it fill my chest,
Sing that sorrow,
The soul undressed.
Drink my fill of this fearless goddess.
The dragonfly.
Fierce, unbroken and crucified.
Eyes like truth.
Just like she's always known.
And she smile like an open grave, mercy.
Won't you please beckon me into you...
Winter, my dragonfly.
Letting me drown here for a while.
Earthquakes and easy pace,
What I would give,
Just one more taste.
Fire, feed me,
Just a little linger.
Shapeless.
Breathing.
Carry me to light.
Let fire feed me,
Just a little longer.
Shapeless.
Breathing.
Carry me to light.
Winter, my dragonfly.
Letting me drown here for a while.
Earthquakes and easy pace,
What I would give for her...

Holding on.
It's alright.
It's alright now.
And I never could find a grave that I wouldn't fall into.
I am grateful for the climb.
And I reach for the echoes you left.
Teaching me patience,
And I am better for the yearning.
I'm not lost yet.
So she runs faster again, quietly hoping to free herself into the breathing.
Stand in the warmth of that light.
The spark that she gave to me.
I am ready.
I am certain.
I'm not lost yet.
She's willing to pour her all, fierce, defiant, a voice I know.
It's you...
But you'll never see me coming.
But you'll never see me coming.
I come by cloak and dagger in her light.
I, the spark's long fight.
Fire, feed me,
But you'll never see me coming.

5. Rust

The hole we fulled with the world we built,
And you know damn well it won't save us,
So hold it till the world stands still,
And you know damn well it won't save us.

We nailed it shut.
A world to rot.
And we beg from the bones of the soil to scream back,
"No, you can't save us!"
"It won't be us!"

It repeats it again like you breathe old rust.
Be the weight to the rope,
Be the wolf to the lamb.
But it won't do a good goddamn.

You can't save us.
The road lay long,
We were too far gone.

Did we burnt that bridge?
Am I just sleeping?
Still breathing...
Carry gold to dust,

It repeats it again like you breathe old rust.
Be the change, be the hope,
Be the mind to the man,
Be the world to the flame
But it won't do a good goddamn this waiting.

I will face it with my arms open,
I feel these eyes on me.
Drink in this sweet
Surrender (comfort me)
I fed this desperate hunger,
I swallow all I'd hoped for.

So fuck your prayer for rain.
Pray for rust
It won't save us.
I feel these hands on me.
Welcome this weight,
Surrender.
I am your rope,
Your burden,
The windowless room,
The water.

So fuck your prayer for rain.
Pray for rust.
Dam this waiting.

6. Turntail

Let them shout,
I am free as any man.
A moment worth a world,
I will not run,
You hear me?

Let them fly.
I am free as any man.
A moment worth a world,
I will not run.
Powerless to fly.

I pay it no mind.
That weight's just coins for my eyes.
But I'll dancing on my grave when dead men are not slaves.

I pay no mind.
This time I...
Feel that rain as we elevate.
Wash it away...
(never turn tail)
Feel that rain,
Even gods were made with feet of clay.

I am free as any man.
I will not run.
So keep your long goodbyes.
I pay them no mind.

I have been dust a long time.
I was born into that flame the day they took my name.
I pay no mind,
I feel that rain.
Effortlessly I turn my eyes,
And pay no mind to the darkened sky.

I won't take flight when the rest turn tail,
'Cause I know this moment's mine.

What empty hands can't claim is buried all the same.

I pay no mind,
I'll find my freedom in the moment I...
Feel that rain as we elevate.
Wash it away...
(never turn tail)
Feel that rain,
Even gods were made with feet of clay.
Even gods and their feet of clay stand and stare as it washes away.

Even gods and their feet of clay...

Unbind these hands,
I was stronger than a time when we all fought like there was no light.
Fought like our very flesh and bone could never falter.
Feel that rain as we elevate.
Wash it away...
(never turn tail)
Let them shout.
I am free as any man.
A moment worth a world.
I will not run,
You hear me?
Let them fly.
I am free as any man!

Feel that rain as we elevate.
Wash it away...
(never turn tail)
Feel that rain.
Even gods were made with feet of clay.
I will not run.

7. Daughter Of The Mountain

Sisters, moment and all.
Ageless, fair.
Lover, life is the fall.
All for her...
The youngest will never forget.
Floating by the edge.
How fragile we are,
Just watching petals fall.

This delicate blossom is strong,
Stronger than she knows.

We're watching petals fall.

Daughter of the mountain,
Gently rises,
Now mother to us all.

"This is my choice, father!" she said...
She is the reason why we fall so soft,
And never regret when we fought and we lost.
Like petals that fall don't blame the ground.

She is the reason why we fall so soft.
The beauty we found,
This is the cost, and life is the fall,
Don't blame the ground.

Waves to wind in waiting.
Tender skin to skin linger,
Little soul...

Daughter of the mountain,
Just one day in bloom.

Mother to us all.
She is the reason why we fall so soft.
And never regret when we fought and we lost.
Like petals that fall don't blame the ground,

She is the reason why we fall so soft.
The beauty we found,
This is the cost.
And life is the fall,
Don't blame the ground.

With love by her side,
Found her voice.
Brave now.
Secrets confide.
Make your choice...
She stays in the place in between,
Pure and fleeting.

We gave up our stone to love a moment gone.
To float here where water meets soul.
Love was given choice.
There was only ever one.

She is the reason why we fall so soft.
And never regret when we fought and we lost.
Like petals that fall don't blame the ground.

She is the reason why we fall so soft.
The beauty we found,
This is the cost, and life is the fall,
Don't blame the ground.

8. Undergrowth

Through undergrowth she crawls,
Weary feet,
Both hers and mine.
Patience never fails,
Still waiting on that hand of time.

She's taught to understand.
Never learned to comprehend.
Patiently she leads me.

Catch me weightless by her side.
She breathes life to the heart of me.
All of the worlds she's seen.
Begging her please, oh, please.
Let me breathe...

Where there's love,
I'll feed it.
It was all I needed.
In her hands I'm healing.

Where there's love I'll be...

Nestled in her skin,
I fade to fragile in her hands.
Let me stay a while.

I see clearer through her eyes.
She breathes life to the heart of me...

Where there's love,
I'll feed it.
It was all I needed.
In her hands I'm healing.
Where there's love I'll be...

9. City Has No Empathy

Empty streets call,
Siren's song.
Drift down deeper
The city's heart is waiting for me.

City soulless.
All empty syringe,
Hollow promise and careful disguise.
Bright eyes,
Briefly carry the hopeful.

Ever the optimist.
So sing your song,
Like a sigh,
Your sentimental lie.
Liar!
Open your mouth and sing like you've got something,
You've got something to say.

My head in my hands.
Try to ignore the sound turning to sand.
Cold wind carries my own voice,
A whisper begging for release I am released.

So sing your song,
Like a sigh,
Your sentimental lie.
Liar!
Open your mouth and sing like you've got something to say.

Fuck this city,
I've been released,
I spread out wide my arms.
I breath in deep and sing,
"I am released."
