https://www.youtube.com/watch/mhgKxZ6dAr0 Dead Can Dance – American Dreaming / US Capitol riot edition
I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land

We’ve been too long American dreaming
And I think we’ve all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

I’m in love with an American girl
Well she’s my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her

And we’ll go dancing in the rings of laughter
And live along by the shores

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long? How long?

Feel alone on the grounds of allegiances
We’ve left behind
Turned back by the foot of the doorway
Never lost and found

We’ve been too long American dreaming
I think we’ve all lost the heart
Forlon somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long? How long?
