Lyrics Asaf Avidan

Asaf Avidan

The Golden Calf

As you dance around the golden calf

You're spinning down

Showed all the hungry boys in town

What they had missed

They thought that you have found

The echoes of that holy sound

Which got it spat in to the ground

That he had kissed

Your soul was tearing

And a threat was dragged behind you

As you fled into the shadows

Of the bed in which you hid

And as the whisper spread

The colour darkened to a red

That stained to all you ever said

With which you did

And I met you a night

Through a trick of a light

A thousand lifetimes ago

I held your face in my hands

And I traced every line

You never wanted to show

Because I know

We are the children that never let go

We are the children that never let go

As they poured a cross

The borders of your dress

They crossed into the layer

Of the frost around your name

And every one of them was lost

Between the hamer and the cross

That you labelled

And then tossed into the flame

You know I never ment to try

To teach antyhing

But my commandment smashed

When I collided with your hips

And who was I to dare to love you

War has bend to fear

With all the scars that you declare

Across your lips

And I met you one day

Through a crack in the pavement

A thousand silences old

I pulled your chest

To my hand and I pressed

Every cracks that was covered in snow

Because I know

We are the children that never let go

We are the children that never let go

We are the children that never let go

I was forced to scavenge

Through the rotten crates and scalvage

That was broken down

And rubbished by the sea

And as we stepped outside

We saw the coffin that are tied

Of moonlight hid its golden pile

And it was me
