BLACK HEART PROCESSION LYRICS - 3

we always knew

we want to know where truth is found
we try to breathe but life was never found in you
and of that i know
we wander on beyond the hills
and with what we stole we could never lie with them
and of that we are sure
life came and forgiveness was gone
was it all to see the light
did you come back from the quest
was it all to see the light in your own dream
you say i guess i knew
i always knew
and what holds you now will bury you then
and on what you pray you will lie with them
and of that we are sure
we are sure
i try to move but with this heart it's turned so black
but i would never lie to you
and of that i'm sure
life came and forgiveness was won
did you come back from the fires
did you come back from your quest
was it all to see the blood was on our hands
and say i guess i knew
i always knew
i guess we knew we always knew


guess i'll forget you

now you know there's no light on the waves
but before i turn there's just one last word
then i'll try to forget you
now they say there's no light in the caves
and we all know there's no way out
i'll try and forget you
but before i go i must say
that in my heart you'll always be found
always but i'll try to forget you
i guess i'll forget you


once said at the fires

everywhere around they circle in to feed
you cross your heart not to live a life like them
down here all along out here by the fire
they'll warm their hands and know there's others here like them
down here all along second to none
they'll wash their hands know they never agreed
then when they want to know they'll come back and find there's no way home
no there's no way back home
everyone around circles to defeat
they cross our hearts and time's not the same


waterfront (the sinking road)

this is a sinking anchor that we hold so dear
were you worn out from the start cut out and never replaced
you held at arms length
you so afraid
you by the waterfront
you still alive
you move away
you want to wash away what ills your heart
you stand by the waterfront never sure of your choice
this is a sinking road that we all travel on
you by the waterfront
you swollen with a crime


till we have to say goodbye

outside there's a war
mothers hold their sons
cause soon they will be men
and have to say goodbye
cause they'll never know this life
till they have to say goodbye
i felt for you the way few ever do
and i still wonder why we had to say goodbye
but you'll never know this life
till ya have to say goodbye
do we have to say goodbye


i know your ways

rely
was down time when you meet the end
was frozen yet taught as you came
if one was and the others not like you
so the reason is to rely on that one
cause i know your ways
and i know what you'll say
and i know how you think
that i'll always run back
when it all falls away
and comes back to me and you
it always comes back to me and you
down there what will they find
it's the way that the light all decays


never from this heart

now there was never a sound
no never from this heart
she was born by the sea
you look so weak
life won't let you go away
life won't let you go to waste
now as a fire erupts in a heart so immune
so you return to the sea
and remember all these things you let float away
into another life
where they floated for years


a heart like mine

she stood at the sea in the photograph
i saw the ship approach to take her love away
oh please if they should ask you
tell them you knew a heart like mine
yes a heart like mine
she is the one in the photograph
so i cross the sea to find the love i lost
oh please if they should ask you
tell them you knew a heart like mine
and if they should ask me
i'll tell them I knew a heart like yours
and a heart like mine


the war is over

it won't be long
if this war was over
would you stay
would you lie beside me
if the war was over
would you stay
if the war was over
i could go anywhere i felt with you
if the war was over
i lie awake and dream of you
it won't be long till i'm home if you wait
now if this war was over
and the confetti skies were so filled with pride
if this war was over
i lie awake
do you lie and wait awake and dream of me
it won't be long till i'm home if you wait
now that the war is over
will you stay
will you lie beside me
the war is over
it is over
it is over for me


on ships of gold

on this day i was wondering just what made the sky blue
i was thinking if i'd ever leave this place
i saw the storm pass overhead along the sky
you'll be gone on that day i know
i'll be coming home on these ships of gold
i never knew the lies you said were true
and i never knew that all the ships had holes
and i never knew this life was all for you
i didn't know i'd ever get this far
i never knew all these ships had holes
i didn't know i'd reach this far to sink
i didn't know i never knew
i didn't know....
