Steven Wilson - Requiem for a Village (The Village Hall Sessions)

Steven Wilson - Requiem for a Village 

from Genius lyrics

[Intro]
Born never asked
Sun cuts through the fog, radiates in requiem
Tending the graves, six feet under with no mark except [?]

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Weekend love, kissing down by the cemetery
They rise and they dance with supremacy
They scream at the traffic on the motorway
Folklore making way for what's necessary (Yeah)

[Chorus]
'Tis as if you dress like you got some authority
I don't think you understand the severity
In the club where you lost your virginity
Now it's all just a question of paternity

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
They got kids vaping down by the nursery
Parents drown in helplessness and entropy
In the woods, a man from the mental institution
Making movies for independent distribution

[Verse 3]
A [?] standing at the edge of the seventies
Better people who can do just as they please
Behind the curtains [?] their devices
Swear to secrecy, the consequences of their surprises

[Chorus]
'Tis as if you dress like you got some authority
I don't think you understand the severity
In the club where you lost your virginity
Now it's all just a question of paternity

[Bridge]
Living in the country, we're all f---ed up
All dressed up like monkeys, we breed like dogs
We live in the past, we don't advance
Won't ever rest, so come with us
Living in the country, we're all f---ed up
All dressed up like monkeys, we breed like dogs
We live in the past, we don't advance
Won't ever rest, so come with us

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
[?]
Rusty gateways creak reserving [?]
[?]
New gods growing from the soil will last eternity
[?]
