Shearwater - Castaways lyrics

By shadowing All the darkened fields Of forgotten words And civilian lives Violence Through the changing guards Through the grinding away And the furious marching By gathering the holy light And weathering A castaway life And the rising fear The hollowness Of the flags and gods That are raised in the air In the wake of their raging Your skinny arms Hold the lantern up On the brightest array Of the stars in their moorings And summoning The holy light down On citadels The blackening sky Collapsing sun The burning wall That approaches our eyes You live again In the shuddering light These images This valediction You are running from A rising tide You are castaways
