Lyrics
We move by night Cover our tracks well, and we pack light Follow the shoreline when we've run clean out of land Speak in gestures only we can understand We've made mistakes Everyone spots their own mess when the dawn breaks We get so exhausted Lost kids, just wasted Sleep in short shifts and then rise up to our feet Life is short, and life is hard, and life is sweet The treeline shakes We roll hard along some long odds when the dawn breaks See soft peaks off in the distance Those people in the mountains They will never know what hit them We shed dead weight It gets pretty hard to concentrate Practice our prayers until some small hope crystallizes Follow the shoreline till some better hope arises Behold, the beast awakes Stand trapped in his great shadow when the dawn breaks
