Asaf Avidan - The Golden Calf Lyrics






As you dance around the golden calf
You're spinning down
Showed all the hungry boys in town
What they had missed

They thought that you have found
The echoes of that holy sound
Which got it spat in to the ground
That he had kissed

Your soul was tearing
And a threat was dragged behind you
As you fled into the shadows
Of the bed in which you hid

And as the whisper spread
The color darkened to a red
That stained to all you ever said
With which you did

And I met you a night
Through a trick of a light
A thousand lifetimes ago

I held your face in my hands
And I traced every line
You never wanted to show

Because I know
We are the children that never let go
We are the children that never let go

As they poured a cross
The borders of your dress
They crossed into the layer
Of the frost around your name

And every one of them was lost
Between the hammer and the cross
That you labelled
And then tossed into the flame

You know I never meant to try
To teach anything
But my commandment smashed
When I collided with your hips

And who was I to dare to love you?
War has bend to fear
With all the scars that you declare
Across your lips

And I met you one day
Through a crack in the pavement
A thousand silences old

I pulled your chest
To my hand and I pressed
Every cracks that was covered in snow

Because I know
We are the children that never let go
We are the children that never let go
We are the children that never let go

I was forced to scavenge
Through the rotten crates and salvage
That was broken down
And rubbished by the sea

And as we stepped outside
We saw the coffin that are tied
Of moonlight hid its golden pile
And it was me

    As you danced around the golden calf, your spinning gown

    Showed all the hungry boys in town what they had missed

    They thought that you had found the echoes of that holy sound

    Which got it spat into the ground that you had kissed

    Your soul was tearing in a thread, was dragged behind you as you fled

    Into the shadows of the bed in which you hid



    And as the whispers spread, their colours darkened to a red,

    That stained all you ever said with what you did

    And I met you one night

    Through a trick of the light, a thousand lifetimes ago

    And I held your face in my hands and I traced

    Every line you never wanted to show

    Cause I know

    We are the children that never let go

    We are the children that never let go



    As they poured across the borders of your dress, they crossed

    Into the layer of the frost around your name

    And everyone of them was lost

    Between the hammer and the cross

    That you labelled and then tossed into the flame

    You know, I never meant to try to teach you anything, but my commandments smashed
    When I collided with your hips


    And who was I to dare to love you or to interfere

    With all the scars that you declared across your lips


    And I met you one day

    Through a crack in the pavement

    A thousand silences old

    I pulled your chest to my hands

    And I pressed every crest that was covered in snow

    Cause I know

    We are the children that never let go

    We are the children that never let go


    I was forced to scavenge through the rotten crates and salvage

    That was broken down and ravaged by the sea

    And as we stepped outside

    We saw the calf and then a tide of moonlight hid its golden hide

    And it was me

    The fitness fanatics out there probably know the feeling of pushing yourself to the max in a workout. But a holistic approach to health and wellness involves movement, nutrition, and regeneration, says Alicia Agostinelli, a personal trainer and yoga instructor at Equinox Seaport Square in Boston. https://www.contrishare.com/4ucp6
