Teng, Vienna - St. Stephen's Cross Lyrics
He was there the night the wall came down.
He lost her in the endless crowd,
In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross.
He sent cries aloft for his fellow man,
His fingers slipping from her hand,
She was there the night the wall came down.
She faded into that newborn crowd
Like a warning of what could be lost.
Through the perforated night she ran,
Her fingers slipping from his hand,
And she breathed in freedom
Before daylight tread.
They were there the night the wall was drowned
An old world made new
On the same holy ground.
She found him standing, looking lost
In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross,
And he closed his eyes and heard no sound
But her breathing warm against his mouth.

Teng, Vienna St. Stephen's Cross Comments
I love this! Wow...
Does this remind anyone else of Austria Hungary and Prussia from hetalia? And the dissolution of Prussia...except I don't ship pruhun...but whatevs~ off to write sad fanfiction ;-;
It isn't, actually. If you Google the song name and find Vienna's formspring, she explains a bit about it.
This is about the day the Berlin wall came down
Thanks a lot to you, elongworthy.
Lyrics nicely done and a fine sound quality...
I do love it.
IMHO it's rather the story of the two losing each other for a while, experiencing LOSS as something devastating, even tho all around the crowd is celebrating.
Lucky to have HIM/HER back.
St. Stephen's cross - is THAt the christian reference to you?
I mean REALLY?
oops. sorry for the typos.
Hope you get it anyway.
This is soooo deep.
I just love it. One of the few sonfs that paint their lytics as images onto my internal canvas.
This is one of my most favourite songs EVER!
Thanks for posting. I really like this song and the mysterious mood it sets. I agree it is a good rainy day song.
@RainbowLevel So glad you enjoyed it. :) No problem. It is a rainy-evening sort of song, isn't it?
