Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 318 & Part 319

Today is Friday, the 25th of October 2024.

The white doves are tired.
They haven't flown for a while...

"Bromford Hall"

No one gets away
We know how it ends, it's not a matter of time
It's a matter of when
If the heavens show grace and the suffering relents
With a knife stroke of luck you can outlive your friends
Is it grace, is it grace
If they leave you on your own
So lucky, alive and all alone

No one outruns the dark in the end
Both the saint and the sinner
No one's exempt
It's a matter of fact and a matter of time
Til those once false alarms turn funeral chimes
Is it grace, is it grace
To be the last one spared
Is it lucky to die with no one there

No one believes there's a hound watching them
It's those old superstitions, the yarns that we spin
It was perfect for her and useful for him
But insulting to me when all of my friends
Common sense is salvation
Then grace is not hell
How lucky I'd be to be all by myself
Knowing it's too late to cry for help

























"Peace On Bromford"

Well now
Goodbye my friend, it was good to know you
I hope you understand
Twenty-one years and I ain't got nothin'
But I'm sittin' here wonderin' if I can

Wishin' and dreamin', hopin' and reachin'
For things I was never meant to have
If my foolish life's a product of my gross misconceptions
Who's gonna give a damn?

I don't want
Peace on Bromford
I just wanna to go
I just wanna to go home

Well I know I never was much more than you expected
So I expect I won't disappoint
But my dreams are not as hollow as the empty world I saw
Though I guess I never did get the point

Life can not just be the only option left
The only thing you can count on in this world is regret

I don't want
Peace on Bromford
I just wanna go
I just wanna go home

Right world, wrong time
And they say to me
"Hang cool teddy bear"

Best thing to do is just feed 'em fear
Get 'em thinking about there and forgetin' about here

Don't try to fight, don't try to win
When they knock you down
You gotta get back up again

I don't wanna be an end
To break this back and bleed these hands
To take my strength and all I am
To steal my soul for all your plans

I, I don't wanna be
But I'm not so self righteous to think that I
Would not take one hundred thousand lives

To see, oh, my mothers eyes
And trace that southern smile
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die

I don't want too much more than
A working man deserves
Just a life worth living
And a death worth dying for
Oh
I don't want
Peace on Bromford
I so want
Peace on Bromford
I don't want
Peace on Bromford
Oh, I so want
Peace on Bromford

And I just wanna go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home
I just want to go home
I don't want
Peace on Bromford
