Carthaginian Lullaby

[Chorus] Baby don't cry now Mum and dad will always love you Though we might have to go now Baby don't cry a Carthaginian lullaby I remember how the marble steps looked You were fifteen, viciously ripped off my hook And you cast me out only to reel me back in Just to wipe the smile from my chiselling grin From then we partnered, you put the quiver to my bow I was high-strung but you knew how to aim low We sang, drank, thanked all the heavens below Not paying heed to the Romans we know [Chorus] The arrow aimed wide of the mark still struck a willful victim Inferno in the air, personified The devil strides long in the night never stopping his conviction Tic tac toe played with your life But if we have to go, I would have picked here On the temple steps where we both first met Now it's time to fly, Scipio will cry So now we lay down, no longer rolling in the hay But it's okay now, cos we've both arrows to the brain And though we fought we won't be remembered History has a deal with the winners
