Wild Swans - Revolutionary Spirit lyrics

Lost in the delta of Venus, lost in a welter of shame Deep in the forest of evil we embark on the new crusade Cease your foolish plea we have come to banish the land, I stand as Saint Sebastian with love for a higher command And there where hope is dust so strange and absolute Nestling in sweet sorrow is the saviour of our youth. All is quiet where angels fear Oh my blood relations the revolutionary spirit is here. All is quiet where angels fear Oh my heir-apparent the revolutionary spirit is here. Sons defy their fathers; lose their way deep in the mist, Their hearts like alabaster crack and crumble when they're kissed Cease your foolish plea we have come to banish the land, I stand as Saint Sebastian with love for a higher command All is quiet where angels fear Oh my blood relations the revolutionary spirit is here. All is quiet where angels fear Oh my heir-apparent the revolutionary spirit is here. Courage my sad companion mute in silence you'll find no relief Faith is the counter-poison; the power compels you to flee from grief. Cease your foolish plea we have come to banish the land, I stand as Saint Sebastian with love for a higher command And there where hope is dust so strange and absolute Nestling in sweet sorrow is the saviour of our youth. All is quiet where angels fear Oh my blood relations the revolutionary spirit is here.
