D' Estus Morte - The Delgados

Dusting portraits where they hang

Tables laid out, flowers in stands

Babies crying above the bed

Bleeting what is true

Where we live is where we land

Silently without the clouds

Of your life and we forgot

We hated what you do

Come my way

Stand proudly for this day

Where people’s lives are clear

And friendships have no fear

Changing glances who we are

Other lives where all was (strong?)

Frailing thoughts of dusky wax

The things we thought were (sin?)

But we live, and we forget

Be admonished for the thoughts

We forget the truth (in bed?)

We hated their lives too

Come my way

Stand proudly for this day

Where people’s lives are clear

And friendships have no fear

Come my way

Stand proudly for this day

Where people’s lives are clear

And friendships hold no fear

Don’t (glow?), don’t (smile?)
