Bright Shadows

[Verse 1]
Waiting for the sun
As we close our eyes
In the dead of night
Rooftops cry out loud
In the shadows bright
Lingered fears around my throat
Like some angel whore
Old moons tides run deep
Blind, black and undraped

[Chorus 1]
These lonely trees
Bear precious fruit
These lowlands cry
In bitter heat

[Verse 2]
Cross these lonely trees
Then we filter down
To the sand
Beneath our feet
Knives that catch the waves
Dance in silver flames
As we kiss the deep
Life runs out of time
Pale hands drench our cries
Then bleach the sagging skin

[Chorus 1]
These lonely trees
Bear precious fruit
These lowlands cry
In bitter heat

[Verse 3]
Over mountain peaks
Into paths unknown
Under times we've heard about
Golden water burns
Like the wings of death
Molten sun reaps all our flesh
On the turning tides
Once bound in fright
Unchained to paradise
Waiting for the gifts
As we close our eyes
In the death of daylight

[Chorus 2]
It's all a game
This foolish pride
The wounds that cry
From vicious lies
