Carina Round - Monument lyrics

Windowsill, Paris, France

Cast a shadow of this chance

Hanging over Gare du Nord like I never asked for more

Statues on the building tops

Stooping for the fire we got

Heart's new incantation

Your face bared to the sheer moonlight

Time flies and I'm here to ride

Red lights, cars zoom past, New York had a heart attack

Screaming into a new world

Sunrise at Sacre Coeur, I turn to move into the church

Silence wraps around my head like everything I've never said

My heart is reeling, opening to let me in

New day's illumination

Will it rain then and drown this out?

I could die here and never be found out

Sweat freezes on my face

Moving forward from this place

Screaming into a new world

I'm not looking for answers at a time like this

I can feel this moment

For once let it come

Let it, oh God, let it come

Well, it's protect or sacrifice

Waste my time thinking twice

Redirect back to earth

I never knew less than a heartbreaker

Torn down monument

Never be the same again

My new destination

Struck down silhouette

Conscience fade to black

Burn out your blood so blessed in your military dress

Heaven's incandescent glow, honourable way to go

Screaming I go screaming into a new world
