Lurhstapp (Acoustic Version) [2005 Remaster]

When the visionary dream set heart and brain
His flesh made into stone
He tore the statues to the ground
Crying let our people go

And now they're gone
All is gone

But these changing winds can blow cold and hostile
One swallow never made a spring
You can buy a crown it doesn't make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring

Now twenty five miles north in the great dark woods
The college buildings stand
And the ghosts of hope they walk silent halls
At the death of the promised land

All is gone
All is gone

But these changing winds can turn cold and hostile
The freedom passion and the two faced call
They dance together upon the wall
With nothing left to break the fall

And in the shadows of the crowded square
A thousand paper deals go down
Hungry sharks from everywhere
Smell the blood and head for town
Innocence starts to peel away
How money changes everything
The past it eats the future up
And this blind desire eats everything

Now the rats they leave one stricken ship
For another drifting past
Your world was going nowhere slow
While ours goes nowhere fast

And now it's gone
All is gone

But these winds of change can turn cold and hostile
One swallow never made a spring
You can buy a crown it doesn't make you king
Beware the trinkets that we bring
The freedom passion and the two faced call
They dance together on the famous wall
With nothing left to break the fall
