lyrics
Orange Robes
Words: Herman de Kok
Music: My Own Army
Best friends take the stage
Accepting the beatings
Sing like you mean it
Can I be ignored?
With a clock on everything
It’s hard to show
With all these broken bones
Yesterday’s favourite
Now show me the door
Shuffling his memories once again
To get a clearer view on everything
Where’s the door …show me the door
His face among the many
Whispers from corners
These patient vultures
All enjoying their moment
Now show me the door
Shuffling his memories once again
To get a clearer view on everything
Where’s the door …show me the door
Covered in diamonds
You’re coming to see me now
Uncompromising
Burning my tired eyes
Overstepping my welcome
But I wasn’t built this way
I’m searching for God in Orange Robes
While keeping the promise I made
