Folly - Pompeii Lyrics

You know how to swing you sword
You think you know what you'd die for
Running to the front line
Ready to fight the night away
But even armor made of steel
Still to the fates must bend and yield
Did you never learn how to surrender
But you'd be wise to lay down your pride
Woe the willful child, lover you are blind
Sweat and blood, wounded love
Far away from home you've been
Feel the quiet sinking in
Memories they spread you thin
Like butter on bread
So you pour your fears into the glass
To taste them is to touch the past
The night is long, you sip them slow enough to last
But you'd be wise to leave it behind
Woe the gallant knight, you only know to fight
Ash and fire, heart retire
