Sunrise Old
from Bones of Things by The Meligrove Band
lyrics
Wake me slowly
Or Christ, I won’t escape this lonely
Lake of stone and lake of fire
Mistake this for a
Holy light to warn us
That dreams and treachery conspire.
Lonely does the sunrise
One eye open
And shut the other loosens
The ground conviction lays ahead.
Sweetly, sweetly,
The song that lulls completely
The head, the heart, the lungs
Will breathe the dead.
Lonely does the sunrise
Unceremoniously
Like the others that we left unjustly
Under the night!
Under the night!
Under the night!
“We’re never leaving”
Or Christ, I won’t escape this lonely
Lake of stone and lake of fire
Mistake this for a
Holy light to warn us
That dreams and treachery conspire.
Lonely does the sunrise
One eye open
And shut the other loosens
The ground conviction lays ahead.
Sweetly, sweetly,
The song that lulls completely
The head, the heart, the lungs
Will breathe the dead.
Lonely does the sunrise
Unceremoniously
Like the others that we left unjustly
Under the night!
Under the night!
Under the night!
“We’re never leaving”
