The Decemberists - Calamity Song [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Had a dream
You and me and the war of the end times
And I believed
California succumbed to the fault line
We heaved relief
As scores of innocents died

[Chorus]
And the Andalusian tribes
Setting the lay of Nebraska alight
'Til all that remains is the arms of the angel

[Verse 2]
Hetty green
Queen of supply-side bonhomie bone-drab
You know what I mean
On the road
It's well advised that you follow your own bag
In the year of the chewable Ambien tab

[Chorus]
And the Panamanian child
Stands at the Dowager Empress's side
And all that remains is the arms of the angel
And all that remains is the arms of the angels

[Bridge]
And you've receded into loam
And they're picking at your bones
Will call cold
We'll come home

[Verse 3]
Quiet now
Will we gather to conjure the rain down?
Will we now
Build a civilization below ground?
And I'll be crowned the community kick-it-around

[Chorus]
And the Andalusian tribes
Setting the lay of Nebraska alight
'Til all that remains is the arms of the angels
'Til all that remains is the arms of the angels
