Lyrics

A Greater Darkness

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.

A greater darkness for all its worth

A friend so young whose life was cut

We drink the rain to clear our throats

We drink the poison, we drink the poison to make it go

The little mercies above all things

No final act, no final scene

A friend for life and in death too

Forever strong, forever hold, inside our soul

So raise your hands above the waters

We are the thieves in giant shoulders

So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower

To watch you drown inside the monster

So raise your hands above the waters

We are the thieves in giant shoulders

So raise your hands

So raise your hands above the waters

The day now ends and all within

A greater darkness covers everything

Is there no end for such a pain?

Is there no hope, no other life, no way to know?

So raise your hands above the waters

We are the thieves in giant shoulders

So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower

To watch you drown inside the monster

So raise your hands above the waters

We are the thieves in giant shoulders

So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower

So raise your hands above the waters

We are the thieves in giant shoulders

So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower

To watch you drown inside the monster

So raise your hands above the waters

We are the thieves in giant shoulders

So raise your hands

So raise your hands

So raise your hands inside the monster

So raise your hands inside the monster

So raise your hands inside the monster

So raise your hands inside the monster
