אסף אבידן - Not In Vain

Not In Vain
אסף אבידן
מילים ולחן: אסף אבידן

It wasn't me, it wasn't you
It was only all the things we do
To keep this life from rolling thin
The hills and towers of our skin
I stretched too much, my bones were old
I couldn't fit your broken mold



Tonight, Oh! Tonight
Our hearts shall unite
not in vain
not in vain
But in pain
Amen, Amen, Amen!



I drained myself upon your sword
I rained and rained without a word
My titan fell, his water flowed
And by his carcass lovers rowed
Their broken boats on perfect seas
With perfect broken melodies



Tonight, Oh! Tonight
Our hearts shall unite
not in vain
not in vain
But in pain
Amen, Amen, Amen!



And then by light of chic hotels
We dimly saw the rising hell
I bent you down and kissed your breasts
I took them both, Hell took the rest
I tried to love what I could find
The scattered crumbs Hell left behind



Tonight, Oh! Tonight
Our hearts shall unite
not in vain
not in vain
But in pain
Amen, Amen, Amen!



And even now, through fog and mist
I see the plot, I feel the twist
Your heart subdued, then came around
A second time to burn the ground
Where we both stood among the blaze
I still taste it through the haze



Tonight, Oh! Tonight
Our hearts shall unite
not in vain
not in vain
But in pain
Amen, Amen, Amen!
Amen, Amen.
