Lyrics

Across the plateau no clouds storm the sky
Above the riverbed the world's run dry
I beat the air, for those who hear
And through the night my call goes out unheard
I cry for company and get no word
The silent groan, God only knows
I stand alone

The wind devides the empty shells below
Deep in the valley night begins to grow
The memory, the best of me
From out the shadows something takes my hand
To lead me homeward through a foreign land
The silence grown, the palest eyes
I'm the only one

A mother's son, a father's pride
How can I run and where to hide?
I close my eyes and hope tonight
My healing flesh will be all right;
A baby cries, another ghost
A different side to claim the most
My blood gone black and down to dust
So save my soul or let me die
I'm still alive
I'm on the other side
Shaken down, lovely but c*ckeyed
No wonder I feel nervous
Lord, they don't deserve us anyway

I want to burn these wings
You can see how it's happening
Still they're telling me to smack the enemy
It's killing time!

I should have known before
Only bad's half as good as dead
I can't go any faster, stuck like alabaster
White as I know

We stand in lines of old, staying cold
Swallow all the anger
Releases get away, coming down
Across the fields of amber
To the water, ocean far below

As the mirror to the sun
The colour of the evening, never let go
Hold my stomach, keep it tight
They're pulling out the breathing, let it go;
If you ever change your mind
Don't be caught alone, no, it's only me
With all the hopes and fears combined
It's hard to care for living anymore
I wouldn't let you down again
Inspired by hunger, fired by lust
I sold the children's faces, painted gold
Something moving taking hold
Is gathering but never growing old
I did everything I could just to say
Believe me, you're not alone
But with the winter in my bones
Oh what else can I do now?
It's only me
I wouldn't let you down again

Break back to back lately
Oh and how they moved when I was
Younger than this
Get my spirit caught beneath the surface
See me play dead today
I love my daydreams, leave my doldrums
Armies of priests
All come to practice their party pieces
Pounding like metal from side to side
To shoot, to save
And risk that horizon
No smoke can shield, it stays unhealed
Safe in our stillness
At last we see him rise from out the earth
I set the silhouette that leaves me scarred
Lost my condition from the perfect star
I caught the fire, can't help but see
There's none to carry on

I knew these plains before the world was mine
With no escape in mind, I'll be resigned
Inside alone, I know for sure
The future's all gone
