Songtext von Adonais

John was born listening to inescapable cries John was born drinking and preparing his goodbyes John was born too late to modernize Nations fell, none too wise Slow conversations on a speeding train Drinks in hand, cold glory to gain We're old souls in the newest of worlds Across the plains, John scattered his youth From the mountaintops, John questioned the truth Where is the beauty that we're destined to find Is home a place in our hearts or our minds Slow conversations on a speeding train Drinks in hand, cold glory to gain We're old souls in the newest of worlds Our hearts were just too heavy so we left them behind Our hearts were just too heavy so we left them behind John died under open skies Bright stars fell into his fading eyes Legacy stays lucid in romantic minds Love and Fame loosen their iron binds Slow conversations on a speeding train Drinks in hand, cold glory to gain We're old souls in the newest of worlds
