[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
Tell me, remind me
Chase the water racing from the sky
Always beside me
Taste the memories running from my eyes
Nervous flashlights scan my dreams

Chasing water from the sky

Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear

Night awaits the lamb's arrival
Liquid shadows crawl
Silver teardrops fall
The bride subsides to her survival
By your hand
I've awakened
Bear this honor in my name
[Chorus]
Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear
[Instrumental Outro]
