"Romance Me" lyrics - DISCIPLE

Romance me, ransom me!

Is solace a hopeless crusade?
The grandeur of a raping plague?
A portrait that is best forgotten?
Bed of fire for the dying orphans?
Is there a bridge for the endless mote?
A river for the arid throat?
A sun for the winter flower?
A knight in the weeping hour?

The poison sails on ships with pain
My veins have never known!
My eyes have seen the glory of the antidote!

A love lifted, the curse has left its birthplace
Romance me, Ransom me!
A love lifted, in paradise remember me
Romance me, Ransom me!

The idol that birthed betrayal
Where eulogies have littered the trail
A song that is sung with a fork-ed tongue
Blackballed by the angels
And we're dropping like flies!
An assault to the eyes!
Spraying death in every direction!
This infection's a torrential tide!

The poison sails on ships with pain
My veins have never known!
My eyes have seen the glory of the antidote!

A love lifted
The curse has left its birthplace
Romance me, Ransom me!
A love lifted
In paradise remember me
Romance me, Ransom me!

Amazing, sweet mercy
Romance me, Ransom me
Amazing, sweet mercy
Romance me, Ransom me!!

The curse has left its birthplace
Romance me, Ransom me!
A love lifted
In paradise remember me
Romance me, (Romance!!) Ransom me! (Ransom!!!)

And we're dropping like flies!
An assault to the eyes!
