Western Centuries Philosophers And Fools
[Verse 1]
We built the house that love builds
And then we burned it to the ground
We raked through all the embers
But ash was all we found
When love is built on tinder
And it flirts with a flickering flame
And all I've got left is my loneliness
My heartache and my name
[Chorus]
No battle is ever won
The end in sight almost never comes
And seamless love is the construct of
Philosophers and fools
[Verse 2]
A man who says he needs no aid
With him I can't agree
For he's never seen the glowing light
Of a lighthouse from the sea
He's never felt the tender
Love in the heart of a storm
And all he's got left is his loneliness
And his new flame to stay warm
[Chorus]
No battle is ever won
The end in sight almost never comes
And seamless love is the construct of
Philosophers and fools
[Verse 3]
Through all the wreckage and ruins
Up rises the smoke of regret
We realized as it stung our eyes
Love's not through with us yet
When love is built on tinder
And it flirts with a flickering flame
True love is never a constant, oh lord
It never stays the same
[Chorus]
No battle is ever won
The end in sight almost never comes
And seamless love is the construct of
Philosophers and fools
Oh, seamless love is the construct of
Philosophers and fools
