I am the stain that refuses to wash out your history,
I had a hand in all the things that made your country great.
I built your roads and your canals and all your buildings.
Now I lie in their shelter of their hole in disgrace.
We became shadows on barstools who were former kings of men.
Inside I'm broken outside i don't care at all.
I was a fit man I was a strong man with the strength of an ox,
Now i'm just a shadow of myself underneath this cardboard box.

I used to be a fisherman
Until they took away my sea
I used to be a lover once
Until she went away from me

Now I only sail my sea in dreams
I'm kissing ghosts, it seems
The comfort of oblivion

They cast our bodies into a hole
and from the hole a tree will grow you'll see,
and from its branches leaves will grow
just to let the people know we're here below...

and i realise by your side,
that i love it here
and by and by,

I feel the blade draw cross my face, this'll be the last time that I shave
in this little room I call my home
I take down all my pictures. I place 'em in this little tin box,
lay them in my bag and close the door.

The black crow will come for me but I'll be gone, I'll be free, I'm leaving, I'm leaving here
The echoes of my past won't hold me back today, I've buried all I love deep in this clay

It's a lonely old world
Sometimes it takes all your strength
to raise up your hand
and wipe all the tears away..
that fall on your chest
and you realise you're on your own
there's only your blood,
blood won't let you down,

Don't be ashamed my love, don't be embarrassed
because your clothes are old and bare
To me you'll always be the brightest star in the sky

Hold on
Hold on

Don't be ashamed my love because you've got no money

I am the empty one,
the one who dies, the ones who lies
where all have forgotten,
i am the sound that comes across the waves on a stormy day,
i am the one who falls as white as a blanket of snow outside your window,
and even though i'm a slave, my love for you remains
my blood for our freedom was not in vain...

On and on, and on and on we go
Where it ends, no one really knows
The drunkard by the fire, the mother prays in time
The kids are getting restless and the soldiers open fire

On and on, but no one really learns
History repeats itself, another city burns
The priests they have their gods, the rich man has his coins

They send an owl with whispers in her eyes.
She said red forests waited breathlessly, it is time.
Oh what a life we live held together by string,
Never knowing what each day will bring.
But there is beauty in the darkest of things.
And there is hope in the insane.
And all of the things that brought you down
Just may raise yuo up again.

Got to let you go.
I've got to let you go
Got to let you go and fade.

So many times
i've waited by your side,
while you fed softly on my soul.

Where will you go to when i slowly fade
far from your heart and your love and grace?
who would you love to lie down with as i crawl from the darkest of pits...?

Slow dissolve is killing me,
not knowing when you're leaving me
seeing with future with you in my past
sends me down to the darkest of depths...

It feels so good to move,
it feels so good to be alive,
it feels so good to sleep
no one will wake us arise..
and every breath is beautiful,
and every move divine,
and every sound the precious one
i'll treat to kill the lies for you,

I'll meet you in three days from now,
hide yourself well and don't get caught.
When it stops burning it's safe to come home,
i won't leave you down my beautiful one.
I'll be here waiting by these woods,
together we'll run far from harm,
the cracking of bones, the cracking of guns,
a pause in the air and then it resumes...

Your scars cast shadows when you're dreaming,
and time just wont heal your wounds,
That hole inside you keeps on weeping,
and you're feeling all alone, then...

Throw your arms around me,
I'll be right here if you fall,
I'll be right here if you need me,

Hold me, live you've never before
I'll be here 'til the breaking of dawn
I need you to warm these bones
So hold me here in your dreams and your heart

Until the morning comes and the morning light tells me I must go
Until the night returns and into your dreams my love
I will hold you 'til dawn

we had to leave like you we were cast far and wide,
we didn't have a choice,
there was nothing to decide
without food in our bellies,
without a pick on our bones,
without a scrap on our backs
we had to leave our homes...

Your honeyed words slide over all of our dead
Your pregnant jails are leaking all of our young..

And over the mountain,
and over the sea,
the song of a thousand birds is singing
''We'll be free''
They cut off our branches but we'll grow them back,
