[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
We move by night
Cover our tracks well and we pack light
Follow the shoreline 'til we've run clean out of land
Speak in gestures only we can understand
[Chorus]
We've made mistakes
Everyone spots their own mess when the dawn breaks
[Verse 2]
We get so exhausted
Lost kids, just wasted
Sleep in short shifts and then rise up to our feet
Life is short, and life is hard, and life is sweet
[Chorus]
The treeline shakes
We roll hard along some long odds when the dawn breaks
[Bridge]
See soft peaks off in the distance
Those people in the mountains
They will never know what hit them
[Verse 3]
We shed dead weight
It gets pretty hard to concentrate
Practice our prayers until some small hope crystallizes
Follow the shoreline till some better hope arises
[Chorus]
Behold, the beast awakes
Stand trapped in his great shadow when the dawn breaks
