What We Loved Was Not Enough - Silver Mt. Zion

The world itself consumed

Man, that’s the only truth

And what we loved was not enough

Even though we wanted to

I learned it sick in bed

Mining golden vapours

Regrets like charms laid end to end

And other sweet divinities

And other sweet divinities

And other sweet divinities

And this I learned and thus I gleaned

What we loved was not enough

But kiss it quick and rise again

Kiss it quick and rise again

Kiss it quick and rise again

Kiss it quick and rise again

What we loved was not enough

But kiss it quick and rise again

What we loved was not enough

But kiss it quick and rise again

And the day has come when we no longer feel

And the day has come when we no longer feel

And the day has come when we no longer feel

And the day has come when we no longer feel

There’ll be war in our cities

And riots at the mall

There’ll be blood on our doorsteps

And panics at the ball

All our cities gonna burn

All our bridges gonna snap

All our pennies gonna rot

Lightning roll across our tracks

All our children gonna die

All our children gonna die

All our children gonna die

All our children gonna die

Then the west will rise again

Then the west will rise again

The west will rise again

The west will rise again

So goodnight vain children

Tonight is yours

The lights are yours

If you’d just ask for more

Than poverty and war

If you’d just ask for more

What we loved was not enough

What we loved was not enough

What we loved was not enough

What we loved was not enough
