Lyrics The Church - Aura
Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
A G D A
A G D A
[Verse 1]
A
We all came back from the war
G
I wish somebody would tell me the score
D
We raked old Poseidon over the coals
A
Shook his shells, shaked his shoals
[Verse 2]
A
Where can a soldier fix himself a drink
G
Forget the noise, forget the stink
D
And the opium is running pretty low
A
‘Cause when the pain comes back, I don’t want to know
[Verse 3]
A
Across yonder ocean the natives are fierce
G
Their ears are filled their teeth are pierced
D
But it’s not their spears that spill your breath
A
They kill their enemies by loving them to death
[Bridge]
A G D A
[Verse 4]
A
We were on some battlefield
G
I felt something soft go through my shield
D
I felt something warm enter my guts
A
I was bleeding bad but there were no cuts
[Verse 5]
A
They captured three of us, took us back to their village
G
After a long long time I could decipher their language
D
They worshipped Baal, they worshipped the sun
A
They worshipped the son of the evil one
[Verse 6]
A
They were more than voracious, they sucked our ambition
G
They let me go on one condition
D
That was when I came back to my native shore
A
I tell you they don’t want to play with us anymore
[Bridge]
A G D A
[Verse 7]
A
But a part of me will never be free
G
And the part that’s free will never be me
D
But a thing of love and beauty is in my head
A
A message from our enemies, and here’s what they said
[Verse 8]
A
They said that love equals hate
G
And death equals fate
D
An enemy always equals an adorer
A
But priest equals aura
[Verse 9]
A
Yeah, and life equals time
G
And time equals space
D
And space equals sublime
A
And human equals race
[Verse 10]
A
Oh and woman equals man
G
And pot equals pan
D
The fauna ought to equal the flora
A
But priest equals aura
[Verse 11]
A
And beginning equals the end
G
The end always equals the start
D
But straight equals bent
A
The mind sometimes equals the heart
[Verse 12]
A
And you equals me
G
The land equals the sea
D
Richer equals poorer
A
And priest equals aura
[Solo]
