Lyrics
Cossacks Are
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"A moving aria for a vanished style of mind"
"A noble debut, tackling vertiginous demands"
"Has absence ever sounded so eloquent, so sad? I doubt it"
With an arm across the torso
Face on the nails
With an arm across the torso
Face on the pale monkey nails
"Touching the shattered lives it unearths"
"A nocturne filled with glorious ideas"
"A chilling exploration of erotic consumption"
With an arm across the torso
Face on the nails
With an arm across the torso
Face on the pale monkey nails
Cossacks are charging in
Charging into fields of white roses
Cossacks are charging in
Charging into fields of white roses
"That's a nice suit"
"That's a swanky suit"
"Been a pope like no other"
"I'm looking for a good cowboy"
"A rare outcry makes you lead a larger life"
"You could easily picture this in the current top ten"
"Medieval savagery, calculated cruelty"
It's hard to pick the worst mome
