Allusions from Le Morte D'Arthur

lyrics

To be a perfect pillar of the glorious East, we try to be.
And not to acquiesce into that solipsistic space in between.
You were a child of casual mistakes,
Always unforseen, like those you still make.
Teen relics you can't seem to shake.

In our youth, we must choose but one abuse
To outlast us when the Dolorous Stroke falls.
Objects cast, Lady Lyle's spell built to last.
But G0d help us, he's not holding one at all.

Up ahead, two slight figures in November,
Embracing for the coming plague.
Shrouded in fire, though they hadn't ever burned up that way.
She says to me there's no love inside futility,
And all the things that we can't see are all the things that are holy.
So I tried my luck at empathy and wound up in her arms on Judgement Day.

And in our youth, we must choose but one abuse
To outlast us when that Dolorous stroke falls.
Objects cast, Lady Lyle's spell built to last.
So G0d help us, he's not holding one at all.
