Love is a Legend

from Archaic Convent by A Flower in Disguise

/

lyrics

Oh, I have a bad feeling
The clouds won’t be soft enough
I won’t ever be light enough, enough
I suffer from even the wind’s blow

Their essence stays where they don’t remain
Oh, a bad taste pushes me to further abstain
It seems only to afflict me this way
Stealing the light
I don’t speak it, but I wish it would finally defeat me
Reinforcing my base instinct, let it be final
You sicken me, so beautiful
So beautiful until he spoke
Breaking goosebumps of fantasy
Upon his touch to dust
Contorted ideas from under the bed
Stripped I am seldom a pleasure
Of the many women of the world’s harem
Who feed their gaze?
Their bodies a language all their own
A language I read from his lips
Poetry sewn throughout her opaque

Love is a legend
That nostalgic place they talk about like heaven
Where only the best come, only the best ones
That palace in the sky
Faith in which we rely
Where do we go from here?
Do we just…
Do we just disappear?
The clouds parted and forever started
The clouds parted and forever started

But I was too preoccupied in reverie
Missed you right before my eyes, amplifying my fears
You extinguish me without trying
No denying I surrender to your love

But I was too preoccupied in reverie
To free me of this misery
Intoxicated by fantasy
Perplexed one minute turned the next
Hexed and endless
In love we were made I pray we stay
Til the end of days

Love is a legend
That nostalgic place they talk about like heaven
Where only the best come, only the best ones
That palace in the sky
Faith in which we rely
Where do we go from here?
Do we just…
Do we just disappear?
The clouds parted and forever started
The clouds parted and forever started

But I was too preoccupied in reverie
Missed you right before my eyes, amplifying my fears
You extinguish me without trying
No denying I surrender to your love

Tell me your arms are forever open
To the questions as the stars fold in
Trapped secrets in my skin
Reluctant my dreams defeat me
Wisely my heart has escaped me
But there’s laughter amongst our swords

Love is a legend
That nostalgic place they talk about like heaven
Where only the best come, only the best ones
Known ever since I was young
Only the best ones
That palace in the sky
Where the angels cry
You could just die
You could just die
The clouds parted and forever started
Love is a legend
Love is a legend
