lyrics

An endless view
Over troubled seas
A sky lit anew
With stars so serene
The salty crash
Over sleepless eyes
No peace to be found
In the weary mind
I know the odds
We'll never make it home
Just another night
Shaking alone

So hold your tongue
The words you speak have no sway
It's dark the path we follow
The bridge we burn will light the way

We'll set the ship ablaze
To watch each other burn
Set fire to the sails
Then It's our turn
Flames above
Sea below
So choose between
Yourself and letting go

Flames above
Sea below
So choose between
Yourself and letting go
Breath in deep
You'll need the air
If it's death you seek
I won't meet you there

So hold your tongue
The words you speak have no sway
It's dark the path we follow
The bridge we burn will light the way
