The Golden Calf

As you dance around the golden calf You're spinning down Showed all the hungry boys in town What they had missed They thought that you have found The echoes of that holy sound Which got it spat in to the ground That he had kissed Your soul was tearing And a threat was dragged behind you As you fled into the shadows Of the bed in which you hid And as the whisper spread The colour darkened to a red That stained to all you ever said With which you did And I met you a night Through a trick of a light A thousand lifetimes ago I held your face in my hands And I traced every line You never wanted to show Because I know We are the children that never let go We are the children that never let go As they poured a cross The borders of your dress They crossed into the layer Of the frost around your name And every one of them was lost Between the hamer and the cross That you labelled And then tossed into the flame You know I never ment to try To teach antyhing But my commandment smashed When I collided with your hips And who was I to dare to love you War has bend to fear With all the scars that you declare Across your lips And I met you one day Through a crack in the pavement A thousand silences old I pulled your chest To my hand and I pressed Every cracks that was covered in snow Because I know We are the children that never let go We are the children that never let go We are the children that never let go I was forced to scavenge Through the rotten crates and scalvage That was broken down And rubbished by the sea And as we stepped outside We saw the coffin that are tied Of moonlight hid its golden pile And it was me --- The Golden Calf - אסף אבידן
