french style furs – clairvaux prison lyrics

[verse 1]

it is a year of strategy
the bureaucrats wiping the blood off their fingers
and the gates of the temple of reason
have voted to poison the enemy’s well
they know their danger
they need to throw some dead thing
into the living waters that were once clairvaux
and k!ll the too+clean image

[chorus]

in the heart of such a spring
e’er we go
clairvaux
in the heart of such a spring
oh, you know
it was once clairvaux

[verse 2]

nine or a dozen murderers
and a hundred others
with the grime of knavery upon them
go colonize the ancient cloister
on the morrow of the constitution
and in the shadows of the broken church
each dead soul starts to blossom in his sepulchre
cursing the comfortable sun
[chorus]

in the heart of such a spring
oh, clairvaux
clairvaux
in the heart of such a spring
oh, clairvaux
clairvaux

[verse 3]

heaven, with a strange impassivity
shows no particular horror for this grim cartoon
lets each new sphinx crouch in his iron hermitage
musing the means to this leperous noviceship
and no fire falls
no brimstone buries these absinthial silences
or purifies the poisoned sanctuary to a pile of ash
no, god is holding you as evidence
oh, clairvaux

[guitar solo]

[verse 4]

your faithful glass
patient of all the grime and blood of late centuries
suffers the face of the new liberty
frames out the new fraternity for all to contemplate
receives equality and holds it fast
with the firm hug of locks
and those who have never forgotten the days
of bernard and the first cistercians
may read the terror of those messages
and fly to keep their freedom in the servitude of grace
in the heart of such a spring
in the heart of such a spring
[chorus]

in the heart of such a spring
oh, clairvaux
oh, clairvaux
oh, clairvaux
oh, clairvaux
