Lyrics
RISE
AND TAKE MY BONES FROM THE SAND
YOU FOLLOWED THEM
AND WERE DRAGGED DOWN TO THE DEPTHS
YOU WILL RISE
LIKE WORMS IN THE RAIN
YOU WILL RISE
LIKE THE AIR IN THEIR LUNGS
BREATH IN
BREATH OUT
WATCHED THE STARS
AS THEY BURNED OUT
SAW A SHIP
THE OTHER DAY
AND WATCHED THROUGH TEARS
AS IT SAILED AWAY
WHEN WILL YOU RISE
AND TAKE MY BONES FROM THE SAND
YOU FOLLOWED THEM
AND WERE DRAGGED DOWN TO THE DEPTHS
YOU WILL RISE
LIKE EELS FROM HER EYES
YOU WILL RISE
LIKE THE AIR IN THEIR LUNGS
BREATH IN
BREATH OUT
WATCHED THE STARS AS THEY BURNED OUT
SAW YOUR FACE THE OTHER DAY
WHILE SEA BIRDS TORE MY EYES AWAY… AND SANG
THE SWEETEST SONG
THEY SANG THE SWEETEST SONG, YOUR NAME
COME SELKIE, WIPE THAT GRIN FROM YOUR FACE
COME SELKIE, WIPE THE BLOOD FROM YOUR TEETH
A TOWER SLEEPS WHERE NO HEART BEATS
A FATHER SEES HIS SON AND SCREAMS… YOUR NAME
RISE
YOU WILL RISE
COME SELKIE AND WEAR HER BLOODY SKIN
COME SELKIE AND WEAR HER SKIN LIKE A COAT
