It used to be that we were
All of us alone, with our intent to stay that way
The mountains came
To push us apart
And we obeyed
Without question or strain
But some wouldn't budge
So they bore right on through
The barricades
And held tight onto each other
With their own intent to stay
Hollow the sound of the footsteps above
And you can feel its eyes are watching
The sun has set so many times
So pray that it goes away
And pray that it doesn’t return
So dark the coming days
So cover your eyes again
I'll cover your mouth with my hand
Your sweet brеath all the same
And nobody hears it now
And nobody suspеcts a thing
Before I dig this grave
Who do you call for?
Under the shadows, the auspices
Guided to rake of this land all the fates we disbelieve
So cover your eyes again
It used to be the ones we loved
The ones we carried with us
It used to be the skies above
Would fill with the blackest smoke and
High, Heaven will know the place I go
I know, I know, oh I know
Everything else it used to be
Is it better now?
(Hope carry us under
Breathe into us, always
Calm strains suffice
Ever soft, signify
Let our hearts fill with tears
Let our eyes fill with blood)
