Old Enemies

From Intelligent Shit Music

From The Second Life of Fidel Castro

[edit] Lyrics

There's tracer fire in the night sky
broken windows and torn flags
revenge is just as sweet in the dark
and the dark brings out strength
I never knew I had

how quickly your new friends
became old enemies
how strange
that's the way it always stays

solace and solidarity
and the difference between the two
was never that much for you
freedom and brutality
go hand in hand
I guess we always knew that

how quickly your new friends
became old enemies
how strange
that's the way it always stays

do you remember my face?
I launches a hundred ships
and I broke a thousand hearts
I was a one man revolution
I tore your world apart

now my collapse is farfrom dramatic
my decline is as gentle as could be
and I confess although I did my best
my best was not all it could have been

how quickly your new friends
became old enemies
how strange
that's the way it always stays
how quickly your new friends
became old enemies
and old enemies
well they can never change
