Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra - What We Loved Was Not Enough [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
The world itself consumed
Man, that's the only truth
And what we loved was not enough
Even though we wanted to

I learned it sick in bed
Mining golden vapors
Regrets like charms laid end to end
And other sweet divinities x3

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
And this I learned and thus I gleaned
What we loved was not enough
But kiss it quick and rise again
Kiss it quick and rise again x5
What we loved was not enough
But kiss it quick and rise again x2

[Interlude]

[Bridge repeated through Verse 2]
And the days come when we no longer feel

[Verse 3]
There'll be war in our cities
There'll riots at the mall
There'll be blood on our doorsteps
And panics at the ball

All our cities gonna burn
All our bridges gonna snap
All our pennies gonna rot
Lightning roll across our tracks

All our children gonna die x4

Then the west will rise again x2
The west will rise again x2 (bridge fades away)

[Interlude]

[Outro (Bridge Returns) to fade]
So good night vain children
Tonight is yours

The lights are yours
If you'd just ask for more
Than poverty and war
If you'd just ask for more

What we loved was not enough x7
But kiss it quick and rise again
