lyrics

I got a bad letter from Norway
My crony Contessa was on her way
The snow was descending from August to May
Revoking a fable, I heard yesterday

I got an evil message from southern Spain
My comrade Roberto arriving by plane
The sky was near evening and it started to rain
Recalling a story, I thought was insane

Qualis vita, finis ita
Qualis vita, finis ita

I got a nasty note from Martinique
Highly encrypted, it was doublespeak
The day was depleting, and there was the Greek
Recalling the tall tale of a Jesus freak

I got a vile dispatch from the Quaker state
Simple instructions to assassinate
The clouds were darkening, no room for debate
Reviewing a legend just a little too late

Qualis vita, finis ita
Qualis vita, finis ita

I got a bad letter from Norway
My crony Contessa was on her way
The snow was descending from August to May
Revoking a fable, I heard yesterday

Qualis vita, finis ita
Qualis vita, finis ita
Qualis vita, finis ita
Qualis vita, finis ita

The Halcyon Brothers decorate the weight of the world in a charming and medicated disguise. The sound embraces with a clinched smile, and then stumbles and occasionally falls only to somehow prop itself back up for another round. ... more
