Cossacks Are

A moving aria for a vanished style of mind
A noble debut, tackling vertiginous demands
Has absence ever sounded so eloquent, so sad? I doubt it

With an arm across the torso
Face on the nails
With an arm across the torso
Face on the pale monkey nails

Touching the shattered lives it unearths
A nocturne filled with glorious ideas
A chilling exploration of erotic consumption

With an arm across the torso
Face on the nails
With an arm across the torso
Face on the pale monkey nails

Cossacks are charging in
Charging into fields of white roses
Cossacks are charging in
Charging into fields of white roses
That's a nice suit
That's a swanky suit
Been a pope like no other
I'm looking for a good cowboy

A rare outcry makes you lead a larger life
You could easily picture this in the current top ten
Medieval savagery, calculated cruelty
It's hard to pick the worst moment
It's hard to pick the worst moment

With an arm across the torso
Face on the nails
With an arm across the torso
Face on the pale monkey nails
