Ludo - Part I: Broken Bride Lyrics






Fifteen years I raged against the constant C
The speed of light
The diagrams and haunted sleep, frozen sheets
In bed, my dreams
Your garden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones
And slowly die
The cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride
You never breathed again

Circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands
I lose control
They snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face
The taste of blood
The world is strange, the stinking earth and giant trees
Through heavy air a demon shrieks
What have I done
What hell is waiting or me?

I crashed before the birth of Christ
Pterodactyls swarming
You died in 1989, want to get back
To that morning in May
Keep you in bed, never escape
Holding you close, oh oh oh oh
Listen to you breathe the evening glow of fading light
And cooling space

Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak,
I dropped the phone
The burning flares, the steam, your hair, bits of glass,
They sparkled everywhere
Like winter nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined
To hold and keep
Like petals pressed in sheets making love to moonlight
In our sleep
And now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide
That massive, screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, It's standing just outside
I must get to my machine, I will bring you back to life
Fix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what time has done

I crashed before the birth of Christ
Pterodactyls swarming
You died in 1989, want to get back
To that morning in May
Keep you in bed, never escape
Holding you close, oh oh oh oh
Listen to you breathe the evening glow of fading light
And cooling space

I carve your sweet name into the cave
I'm sure to die
All my strife has been in vain, the glaciers come
And wash my words away

I crashed before the birth of Christ
Pterodactyls swarming
You died in 1989, want to get back
To that morning in May
Keep you in bed, never escape
Holding you close, oh oh oh oh
Listen to you breathe the evening glow of fading light
And cooling space

  1. v.... s....

    I wish ludo still made songs

  2. Z.... ....

    This bands sound is a cross between Harvey Danger and bowling for soup

  3. M.... T....

    Toss up for best band from stl ludo and The Urge!!!!!!!

  4. M.... L....

    love me dead was great.
    horror of our love was fantastic.
    but this, this is EVERYTHING.

    also vaguely reminiscent of doctor who <3

  5. T.... J....

    omg 😀

  6. O.... R....

    when you fall in love with a band too late...

    O.... R....

    Olivia Roose they make music and go on tour still

    O.... R....

    Natalie Swatowski really????! that's so awesome!

  7. E.... A....

    "awesome ludo music solo - with tim using his amazing guitar skills"
    i laughed

  8. L.... ....

    Makes me think of the Doctor...

  9. V.... S....

    i absolutely love ludo

  10. S.... S....

    I just realized that this song is about time travel

  11. k.... ....

     v v Repo! is amazing! Only watched it about a million times. xD v v
    Ludo is awesome as well. First song I fell in love with was the horror of our love. It struck me.

  12. v.... ....

    This song reminds me of the relationship between Nathan and Marni from Repo! The Genetic Opera.

  13. T.... N....

    Adam and neah. no time travel required there my friend.

  14. H.... R....

    Stop at 0:31. "cosmic string" That is a reference to string theory in physics. Pretty bad ass.

  15. S.... ....

    ...Video must be made by someone. Now.

  16. S.... ....

    Well actually...if you listen to Chameleon Circuit pretty much all of the songs are about time travel. This song is still genius though.

  17. K.... ....

    sorry dude but those twilight "vampire" edward, i try to refrain from insulting, is much to "nice" to fit that song. would be another thing if twilight actually had a real vampire as main figure you know, the cruel, bloodsucking kind, not the whiney "i hate my life" kind.

  18. k.... ....

    This reminds me of Doctor Who.

  19. p.... ....

    I bet she meant to comment on Horror of Our Love, which does conjure Twilight's creepy semi-bloodthirsty codependent/abusive relationship.

  20. H.... V....

    How is this anything like Twilight...?

  21. B.... T....

    this song makes me think of the "twilight saga" I cant believe this song wasn't in the movies

  22. m.... m....

    2 dislikes :(

  23. L.... M....

    Pterodactyls... :P

  24. B.... ....

    @oOJoeCoolOo Except it isn't.

  25. B.... ....

    This song made me cry... :S

  26. A.... F....

    @tittiesnstuff People be trollin', bruh.

  27. M.... B....

    My marching band is doing a few songs from this for our show next year. :) Best director ever.

  28. K.... D....

    this whole album is just...beautiful....

  29. K.... A....

    Great song! easy to compare to Diamonds And Ghosts. Ludo and Diamonds And Ghosts, best bands in the world! :))))

  30. n.... ....

    everlasting love - we all want it

  31. C.... &....

    One of my bffs boyfriends showed me Ludo. Now I KNOW he is good enough for her. :)

  32. a.... ....

    @perpetuallypantsless holy crap, i was just about to post the same thing. mind reader!

  33. p.... ....

    "Awesome Ludo music solo" is correct.

  34. O.... ....

    How many songs have you ever heard that were about time travel? Or that included the words "pterodactyl" and "glacier" for that matter?

  35. w.... ....

    this song is nothing short of genius.

  36. W.... ....

    awesome song
