Intimate War

You had forsaken and taken for time
Counting on trances and old paradigms
Resting in chambers with walls made of sand
Hiding and whole in the palm of your hand

Headstrong and new try empirical chances
Conclusions for you and your desperate romances
Stabilize all that was normal and just
Make much ado when you do what you must

But just stay while the stone throwers play
Let all of your questions of virtue chase answers away
Dance with the darkness and lie with the breeze
Harbor your vessels and the things that you please
You’ve been bought, you have been sold
You have my heart, you have my soul
Stand for the lost and the soldiers who fell
Bury your anchor in the stories you tell
Yeah but salient fortune it springs from the core
Ride in the saddle we’ll settle our intimate war
Intimate war

Doubtful of fashions that shadows were worn
Distanced and stuck between the things that you’re torn
Hire the hitman to hunt and reveal
All of those cards that were lost in the deal

But just stay while the stone throwers play
Let all of your questions of virtue chase answers away
Dance with the darkness and lie with the breeze
Harbor your vessels and the things that you please
You’ve been bought, you have been sold
You have my heart, you have my soul
Stand for the lost and the soldiers who fell
Bury your anchor in the stories you tell
Yeah but salient fortune it springs from the core
Ride in the saddle we’ll settle our intimate war
Intimate war

Wind from the alter brings faltering love
But your paragon wings hide the wandering dove
Fly to forgiveness and drown in the sea
Watch for the wave bearing down over me

But just stay while the stone throwers play
Let all of your questions of virtue chase answers away
Dance with the darkness and lie with the breeze
Harbor your vessels and the things that you please
You’ve been bought, you have been sold
You have my heart, you have my soul
Stand for the lost and the soldiers who fell
Bury your anchor in the stories you tell
Yeah but salient fortune it springs from the core
Ride in the saddle we’ll settle our intimate war
Intimate war

Ride in the saddle we’ll settle our intimate war
Ride in the saddle we’ll settle our intimate war
Ride in the saddle we’ll settle our intimate war
