Vireo's Eye Lyrics


A loose, and hazy time
When you were not my Clementine
And I was not your diamond's eyeBereft, as daisies lie
For our love was not lost in style
You were strong, I was a childWe, we're not kings here,
We're not kings here
We're just strangersAnd Love, has died in song
Carried down by ancient tongues
Ferried around the water's thrum
And winds, along a line
Along a whirl, a lonely girlTo be, to see, to sweat, and bleed
To fall on your sword-on your sword
On your wordWe, we're not kings here,
We're not kings here
We're just strangersBe still, by my side
For you are not my Clementine
And I am not your diamond's eye
To Sleep!By right of you, I can't endure

In the light of things, I can't ignore
In spite of all the rose's thorns, and hopeless words, and hopeless worksWe, we're not kings here,
We're not kings here
We're just strangersWe, we're not kings here,
We're not the kings here
We're just strangersWe, we're not kings here,
We're not kings here
We're just strangersWe, we're not kings here,
We're not the kings here
We're just strangers
And angels

Future Islands is a new wave synthpop band based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The band is composed of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), and Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals). Their sound has been described as "terse yet passionate music wrought from a stripped back palette," where "Gerrit Welmers' synthesizer melodies tumble across the austere wilderness of William Cashion's post-punk bass pulse, driven ever forward by ecstatic electronic rhythms".
