lyrics

Oh there's a place where the mountains know our names
and the lilies used to eavesdrop on our hymns
Won't you ransom me in your mysteries
as when I was a rug-burned babe
when I first believed
Higher, higher still
the voices sound so shrill
And as we ride to death
I've naught to say but I've given it my best

I've dreamt of an age when the clouds would never fade
and my heart would hum a stronger hymn of peace
But til then I'll stay where the pines and willows lay
Til kingdom come and love be done of me
My peace I give to you
Be harmless, child, be shrewd
And if this is the last of light we'll see
I'll vow and say we've been all we can be

My thoughts are slowly bleeding out
Dripping on the bridge of hostly crowns
My fears are being realized now
Laid bare and breathless, six feet in the ground
