Beau - Red Light in Arcady lyrics

The white crag hides the eagle, And the eagle takes the lamb And carries her to distant crags From where the flight began. Like an arrow from a distant bow, She travels straight and true And crushes from the gaping breast The blood that runs in you… And the Mercedes coughs its way to life And you are yesterday's child, You are entangled in the wires, You are surrounded in the fires, You are to satisfy desires… And you are young. The wicked man remembers What most of us forget. And he can recognise deceit Within himself, and yet The lessons learned for history - So seemingly naïve - Are how much greater is the good To give than to receive… And the Mercedes coughs its way to life And you are yesterday's child, You are entangled in the wires, You are surrounded in the fires, You are to satisfy desires… And you are young. I never want to hear You neither understand nor see. It simple spoils illusions, And all the imagery Is ground into a powder dust Whose trickle sets you free; Whose smoulder is the faintest Glow red light in Arcady… And the Mercedes coughs its way to life And you are yesterday's child, You are entangled in the wires, You are surrounded in the fires, You are to satisfy desires… And you are young.
