Praetorian Aureol

If we start at the beginning we'll only get lost
We told ourselves so many stories
And failed to calculate the cost
These lies belong to us, we raised them from the earth
Hidden by a masterful performance
That no one could observe
Yeah!

We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn't ours to decide, what life meant to us

So let's start at the end, sober from the fountain of youth
The wounds may never mend, but still, I wanna drink the truth

We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn't ours to decide, what life meant to us
All the stained glass losing its color
Praetorian aureole
Two people stare through a crystal barrier
Yeah!

Agnus dei, wasting away
A self delusion in decay

We had to survive on the scraps left to us
It wasn't ours to decide, what life meant to us
All the stained glass losing its color
Praetorian aureole
Two people stare through a crystal barrier
Yeah!
