'The Golden Calf'
Artist, Asaf Avidan
[Intro]
G#m E C#m D#7
G#m E C#m D#7
[Verse 1]
G#m E
As you dance around the golden calf your spinning gown
C#m D#7
Showed all the hungry boys in town what they had missed
G#m E
They thought that you had found the echoes of that holy sound
C#m D#7
Which God had spat into the ground that he had kissed
G#m E
Your soul was tearing and a thread was dragged behind you as you fled
C#m D#7
Into the shadows of the bed in which you hid
G#m E
And as the whispers spread the color darkened to a red
C#m D#7
That stained all you ever said with what you did
[Chorus]
B A
And I met you one night through a trick of the light
C#m B
A thousand lifetimes ago
B A
I held your face in my hands and I traced
C#m B
Every line you never wanted to show
A
'Cause I know
C#m B A
We are the children that never let go
C#m B A
We are the children that never let go
[Transition]
E
[Verse 2]
G#m E
As they poured across the borders of your dress they crossed
C#m D#7
Into the layer of the frost around your name
G#m E
And every one of them was lost between the hammer and the cross
C#m D#7
That you labelled and then tossed into the flame
G#m E
You know I never meant to try to teach anything but my
C#m D#7
Commandment smashed when I collided with your hips
G#m E
And who was I to dare to love you or to interfere
C#m D#7
With all the scars that you declared across your lips
