Lyrics

[00:12.52] In darkness we do what we can
[00:17.95] In daylight we're oblivion
[00:23.95] Our hearts so raw and clear
[00:29.76] Are turning away, turning away from here
[00:37.87] On water we have walked like the fearless child
[00:44.49] What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
[00:50.55] And in search for confirmation
[00:53.58] We have jumped into the fire
[00:56.19] And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire
[01:01.79] In darkness we do what we can
[01:08.22] In daylight we're oblivion
[01:14.07] Our hearts so raw and clear
[01:20.00] Are turning away, turning away from here
[01:31.42] There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
[01:37.40] Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
[01:42.71] And there's those that try to tame it
[01:46.10] And the carve it into stone
[01:49.26] Ah but words cannot extinguish it
[01:52.15] However hard they're thrown
[02:47.64] On racherie they have worked with their island dreams
[02:53.54] By lough cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
[02:59.38] And in searching for acceptance
[03:02.08] They have given it away
[03:05.31] Only the children of our children
[03:08.26] Know the price they had to pay
