Starts With Them, Ends With Us
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.
Don't speak
Don't speak until you've caught your breathe
Don't sleep
Don't sleep unless you're safe in bed
Just pray in the night they take someone instead
The hills are alive with the sounds of your head
Please dear
Please dear be sure of us and ours
Don't fear
Don't fear the worst in case it comes
Just pray in the night that they don't take your love
The hills are alive with the sounds of their guns
You're getting use to 'em
What happens next
What happens next
East to west
Lunatics
And it started slow
Ends in a rush
Starts with them
And ends with us
Just pray in the night these walls are enough
The hills are alive and the rivers show blood
The cancer is wide and it's taken my trust
Do what we will and we will what we must
