The Wave

These empty hands
Is all I got
The line of life
A blueprint of murderous times

A thousand years
Straight from hell
Burning through me
Like a darkness you’ll never see

Guess it’s too late to understand
The lesson of the continent
The line of people in the snow
The broken toys at the plateau

Shoot me to your secret skies
Keep me by your side
Hold on we must reach the shore
Too late we’re left behind

An empty shoe
In promised land
Under the stars
Babylon’s done tonight

Number two
I’m here with you
In this headless dream
That keeps rising over the waves

I guess I’ll never get to learn
The lesson of the continent
The yellow stars, the leaving trains
The children sitting by the rails

Shoot me to your secret skies
Keep me by your side
Hold on we must reach the shore
Too late we’re left behind
