i'm out of lyrics, and have been listening to exitingARM too much to come up with a for hero:for fool lyric

Here's lyrics for Dichter Des Donnerstags. This lives in my acoustic folder, which means I think it would sound best with acoustic guitar as opposed to electric + distortion and stuff. Enjoy.

Speak me a sermon serpent’s child,
I’ll kiss you a summons for a good long while.
And the reaper’s hand warms to the bone
When you meet her near the standing stones:
She’s all blood, makeup and tears,
The look of a girl who lost all her fears, lost by the pier
With a gun in her hand, and Jimmy’s beard.

Her laughter whisks me away
To a better time, a better place,
I just wish for once
That she’d smile.

Empty your thoughts into my cup
And I’ll drink ‘till we’re both dry
Lost amidst the tumbling lights,
The eagle, the mother’s cry.
And in the end, she’ll hold me close
And our two hearts will meet.
I hope you find as much comfort in her hand
As she has found in me.

Her laughter whisks me away
To a better time, a better place,
I just wish for once
That she’d smile.

And though I know
Her pretty face
Is always marked by tears
And the charcoal holes
That hide her soul
Also mask her fears,
Someday she’ll find a way through her loneliness,
Someday she’ll smile again.

Her laughter whisks me away
To a better time, a better place,
I just wish for once
That she’d smile.
