Music Monday: Vesuvius
Sufjan Stevens has been one of my favorite artists since about 2006. I always liked him, but when his album The Age of Adz dropped I was a bit disappointed except for this song. I hope you like it.
Here are the lyrics:
Vesuvius I am here You are all I have Fire of fire I'm insecure For it is all Been made to plan Though I know I will fail I cannot Be made to laugh For in life As in death I'd rather be burned Than be living in debtVesuvius Are you a ghost Or the symbols of light Or a fantasy host? In your breast I carry the form The heart of the Earth And the weapons of warmth
Vesuvius The tragic oath For you have destroyed With the elegant smoke Oracle, I’ve fallen at last But they were the feast Of a permanent blast
Vesuvius Oh, be kind It hasn’t occurred No it hasn’t been said Sufjan, follow the path It leads to an article of imminent death Sufjan, follow your heart Follow the flame Or fall on the floor Sufjan, the panic inside The murdering ghost That you cannot ignore
Vesuvius Fire of fire Fall on me now As I favor the host
Vesuvius Fire of fire Fall on me now As I favor the ghost
Vesuvius Fire of fire Fall on me now As I favor the host
Vesuvius Fire of fire Fall on me now As I favor the ghost
Vesuvius Fire of fire Fall on me now As I favor your host
Vesuvius Fire of fire Fall on me now As I favor the ghost
Vesuvius Fire of fire Fall on me now As I favor the ghost
Fall on me now Or follow down
Why does it have to be so hard? Fall on me now Or fall on the ground
Why does it have to be so hard? Fall on me now Or fall on the ground
Why does it have to be so hard?
