Dust to dust
And mouth to brain
I lie myself down in the grain and
wait to be a phoenix or a firefly
And ash to ash
The buildings fall
replaced by one unyielding wall
and overtures to everlasting peace
Please don't wake me when I'm sleeping
I'm making sense of it all
But if you let it does it scare you
that we have nothing at all
You can't light the lanterns
without a fire a fire a fire
You can't move a mountain
but hooray hooray hooray for the darkest days
Cos from the dust your lanterns' bright
Coast to coast of endless caves
Your heart was almost drowned by waves
And left there inaccessible by land
But hooray hooray the darkest days
for your young heart will beat again
And all these broken promises will heal
So if you let it does it scare you
that it's so easy to fall
But if you settle for the safe ride
do you feel nothing at all?
You can't light the lanterns
without a fire a fire a fire
You can't move a mountain
but hooray hooray hooray for the darkest days
Cos from the dust your lanterns' bright
