I heard the church bells from afar,
But we found each other in the dark. And when the smoke does finally pass We will rise above all the ash. Cause we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live At last. So bright, the flames burned in our hearts, That we found each other in the dark. Black beast, out in the wilderness We are fighting to survive and convalesce. But we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live We're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live Like the rest. Through the black soulless water, And the cold lonely air. On the rock restless seas, The vessel in deep disrepair. And the swans they started singing, But then oh, rejoice! I can still hear your voice. Then I heard the church bells from afar But we found each other in the dark. |

Can you imagine all the homes abandoned and all alone?
With no one left to care for them, wilting in moss. The paint is peeling off the walls. The corners are filled up with dust. Cigarette smoke hangs in the air, And the grass ain't growing like it did long ago. Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation Or an economic tragedy tore apart its family They're all empty. The pipes have long since seized. The windows are all boarded up. There's no electricity flowing through these lifeless veins. Cracks are running down the walls Where picture frames used to hang. A hint of heartbreak still lingers in the air, And weeds have choked the breath out of it long ago. Whether a natural disaster ripped it from its foundation Or and economic tragedy tore apart its family They're all empty. They're all empty. |

I fear I'll die from complications, complications due to things that I've left undone
That all my debts will be left unpaid, feel like a cripple without a cane I'm like a jack of all trades who’s a master of none Then there's my father he's always looking on the bright side Saying things like “Son life just ain’t that hard” He is the grand optimist, I am the world’s poor pessimist You give him burdens sometimes and he will escape unscarred I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother But I used to be quite resilient, gained no strength from counting the beads on a rosary And now the wound has begun to turn, another lesson that has gone unlearned But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother I guess I take after my mother, I guess I take after my mother |

What if I can't be all that you need me to be
We've got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep But my addiction it can be such a detriment Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent What if everything’s just the way that it will be Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief My war ships are lying off the coast of your delicate heart And my aim is steady and true as it's been right from the start There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories. If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all So when we leave it'll be a quick midnight escape We'll disconnect ourselves from all of yesterday I'll dig for water and fashion our very own wishing well Then we'll throw our coins down hoping to rid of us of this little hell There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories. If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all Will we get out of this little hell Will we get out of this little hell Will we get out of this little hell Will we get out of this little hell |

When she sleeps there is a fever dream, yeah
It brings the night terrors to harm this fragile bird She speaks in tongues, the words they come undone, yeah Then with a wayward mind she struggles through the night All that I can do, is hope she makes it through the night Through the night These cold nightmares they make her worse for wear Lost in the dark, she's got a heavy heart And when she wakes in her fragile state, Well, she calls my name hoping that I keep her safe All that I can do, is hope she makes it through All that I can do, is hope she makes it through Through the night Through the night Through the night Through the night All that I can do, is hope she makes it through All that I can do, is hope she makes it through Through the night |

You're the Northern Wind
Sending shivers down my spine You're like fallen leaves In an autumn night You're the lullaby Singing me to sleep You are the other half You're like the missing piece Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love You don't know What you do to me You are all four seasons Rolled into one You're like the cold December snow In the warm July sun I'm the jet black sky That's just before the rain Like the mighty current Pulling you under the waves Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love You don't know What you do to me I'm the darkest hour Just before the dawn I'm slowly sinking Into the the slough of despond Like an old guitar Worn out and left behind I have stories still to tell Of the healing kind Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love If I could just find you tonight If I could just find you tonight Oh my love Do do do |

O' sister,
What's wrong with your mind? You used to be, so strong and stable. My sister, What made you fall from grace? I'm sorry that I, was not there to catch you. What have the demons done? What have the demons done with the luminous light, That once shined from your eyes? What makes you feel so alone? Is it the whispering ghosts, that you fear the most? But the blackness in your heart won't last forever. I know it's tearing you apart, But it's a storm you can weather. O' sister, Those lines etched in your hands They're hardened and rough Like a road map of sorrow My sister, There is a sadness on your face. You're like a motherless child, whose longing for comfort. What's running through your veins, that's causing you such pain? Does it have something to do, with the pills they gave to you? What is eating at your soul? Was it the whispering ghost, that left you out in the cold? But the blackness in your heart, won't, last forever. I know it's tearing you apart But it's a storm you can weather. Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oh O' sister, My sister. |

Come close, lay next to me
Come close, lay next to me I need to tell you something important So stay close, remain next to me I need to feel important Because it's your eyes I don't believe And my heart, you will, you will mislead Do you know the consequence that comes with having such confidence? Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and walk away from me So what is this now, you ask of me? What's makes your pain such an urgency? Now I want out, so plain to see Once again my dear, a brand new tragedy Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me Bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me You’re bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me |

Sorrowing man, look how worn you've become,
You once were Lord of the baron sea There’s blood on our hands, in this perfect madness, you're living on borrowed time Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way There's no sympathy for we don't know the cure, Cause what you've got, well it runs too pure But you've lived and breathed more than any man I know But you're not done, oh, at least, I hope Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way In this life what we have made together Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way |

Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb
Oh the sea ran dry and the winds had calmed Skyscrapers fell, they all turned to dust, Their skeletons of steel were covered in rust And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Colours were drained straight from the sky And nothing living had survived The mountains were merely removed from the earth Silver and gold had lost all its worth And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat I was full of doubt and deep regret, Suddenly it was so clear to me; There was nothing left in which to believe And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared |

This highway's dark and empty.
Just miles and miles of endless road. I've got a sickness pounding in my head. I'm at the mercy of the ghost. What will it take to live as if I would not another day? To live without despair, and to be without disdain. How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own? What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life? I sought after, after reasons to stay. I was lost, I was lost. Then the sky turned black, And the rains poured down. I was waiting, waiting to be found. oh, no. How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own? What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life? Then I would sing all that I could sing Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time. Oh when I sing all that I can sing Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right. Oh when I sing, oh when I sing Oh when I sing, oh when I sing |

There is a fire, burning in the ocean
With death black smoke and devil red flames You can see it, burning from the valley, Oh you can see it from the high planes Well they went drillin' Searching for black gold To add more dollars to their names Then one evening so suddenly and violent, There was an explosion they can’t explain Now the deep water horizon Descends down to deaths door And at the bird’s foot They’ve lost all hope Cause oil is a driftin' For miles and miles Poisoning the Gulf of Mexico But what of the eleven Men at the bottom, Who sank to An underwater grave? And while they were sinking And their lungs filled with oil, They must have been screaming, Screaming to be saved But what of the eleven Men at the bottom, Who sank to An underwater grave? And while they were sinking And their lungs filled with oil, They must have been screaming, Screaming to be saved. |
