Shield Your Eyes

Shield Your Eyes - Dry the River

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I'm burning like an effigy in here

The summer's come to haunt me

And I know I'm not the sacrificial deer

But I wish you could've warned me

Of the Phrygian Lion

With his excellent eyesight

At the gate of our love

Ah ah ah ah

I understood the chemistry of peace

You covered me in warpaint

When Moses was a whisper in the reeds

I carved you in the floodplain

By the Phrygian Lion

With his excellent eyesight

At the gate of our love

Under sweet autumnal skins is our myth dispelled

In your strange and simple way

And the Phrygian Lion

With his excellent eyesight

Is what makes it our love

And the Phrygian Lion

With his excellent eyesight

Is what makes it our love

And the Phrygian Lion

With his excellent eyesight

At the gate of our love

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ah ah ah ah
