lyrics

Our tongues are for tying like hands behind our backs
And our eyes are for sighting the night clothed Bible black
We see we are wasted when the cold winter sky
Brushes our faces, kissing our gray eyes
Chorus:
In the forest now, I see
Bits of broken bones of trees
My only comfort is in their eyes

We are lost, we are found by following the stars
Pieces of heaven we view from the car
We are young, we are old
This story has been told
Down through the ages
Could you be so bold?
(chorus)
We are one, we are all
In the story of The Fall
Ain't no use, ain't no use
Cuz we're comin' for the call
(chorus)
And the clouds, they roll on in
Teach me to begin again
Sending shivers
Down my spine
