lyrics

In the half-light of dawn
you came down from the mountain
clothed in suns
and you bore the disease
of some kind of crooked priest.
And those heavy winds
shook the bones of the dead
and their children
and now i know only in light
can you see what you've darkened.

Unthread your woven arms now
and lift the blindfolds from your eyes
ya, i know, i guess thats fine.
So just spill your royal blood out
and put your wedding rings back on.

I had a dream
that 2 severed hands were rising up
to pluck out the stars and i will admit
i'm not too sure what to think of it.
Maybe when i die
i'll forget about it.
Ya, maybe when i die
thats when i'll sleep the safest.

Oh!

I don't really wanna stay here.
I don't really wanna climb these hills alone.
I don't really wanna sharpen all your swords
and i don't really wanna carry your anchors home.
I don't really wanna stay here.
I don't really wanna climb these hills alone.
I don't really wanna sharpen all your swords
and i don't really wanna live where no trees have grown.

Unthread your woven arms now
and lift the blindfolds from your eyes
Ya, I know, i guess that’s fine.
So just spill your royal blood out
and put your wedding rings back on.
