The Skies Will Break
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And the heart speaks in whispers
And the heart speaks in whispers
And so it's all over
So they've already run
And we all fall down
And the clouds, they blot out the sun
Very soon your world could be different
But you've got your mind set on silence, silence, silence
The skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
The waves will part, the seas will rend
The skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
It won't be long until it ends
Singing whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
But the heart speaks in whispers, you've got to listen
And the crowd is so loud
It feels like they'll drown you out
And the waves crash down
And there's chaos all around
Don't let your mind rest on violence, violence, violence
Oh, the skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
The waves will part, the seas will rend
The skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
It won't be long until it ends
Singing whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Cause the heart speaks in whispers
And the heart speaks in whispers
And the heart speaks in whispers
And the heart speaks in whispers
You've got to listen
Oh, the skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
The waves will part, the seas will rend
The skies will break for you, my friend
The skies will break for you, my friend
It won't be long until it ends
Singing whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Bright lights
Bright lights
Streaming, we're golden!
Sunlight, sunlight
Revealing, we're golden!
And you will know
And you will know it
And you will know
And you will know it
And you will know
