The Old Tongue

Download Song

From "Approach Approach Conflict"

We 're trying to speak the old tongue
Preserve the old ways
Got to salute the old guard
Champion the codes of old

We 're trying to hum the old tunes
Uphold the old mores
Got to ensure the old world
Narrative is properly told

Long live the old tongue
In the song of a young girl now
When the sunbeams come
Cascading from her mouth

We 're trying to speak the old tongue
Preserve the old ways
Knock a few back for the old days
A few brandy old-fashioneds, neat

We 're drowning the curb for old friends
40 ozs of Old Style
Crying with each old-fangled mangled
Drunken old fool we meet

Long live the old tongue
In the song of a young girl now
When the sunbeams come
Cascading from her mouth
When the young girl sings
Then the old familiars tingle
With a fury, a fury anew

We 're trying to speak the old tongue
Preserve the old ways
Got to salute the old guard
Champion the codes of old

We 're trying to hum the old tunes
Uphold the old mores
Got to ensure the old world
Narrative is properly told

Trying to save the old world
Trying to save the old world
And the old time band
In the music box is playing
The old tunes, the old tunes, the old tunes
