Lyrics-
Think I'm stranded but I don't know where I got this diamond that don't know how to shine In the sun where these dark winds wail And the children leave their rulers behind As you cross ten leagues from a rubicon With matchsticks for my bones If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive We could learn to leave these burdens to burn
Cast out these creatures of woe Who shatter themselves Fighting the fire with your bare hands
Now my journey takes me further south I want to hear what the blind men sing With their fossils and their gypsy bones I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone How can I make new again what rust every time it rains? And the rain, it comes and floods our lungs We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake
If I wake up and see my maker coming With all of his crimson and his iron desire We'll drag the streets with baggage of longing To be loved or destroyed from a void To a grain of sand in your hand
Ahhhh Ahhhh ooh ooh Ahhhh oooh ooh Ahhhh oooh ooh
