The Flood and The Mercy LYRICS thread, Posting them all Options

[Live4Life]

Hey dan, figured i'd just make a lyric thread if that's okay?
So, What are some of your faves?

Im posting copying from the booklets.


SEVEN

Seven gallows on seven hills with seven suns
Seven hangmen sing the dirge and beat the drum
Take my heart away from this place of no return
And set it far from here, in the name of all that's good

How could leave me this way?
It's cold outside, on my knees i pray
How could leave me this way?

The lights are low
Fade into black again..
How could you get me so high just to bring me down into this valley again..
How could you leave me this way?

Seven maidens, seven boats and seven seas
Black wild ocean open up and swallow me
I can't find my way with only stars to be my guide
I surrender now
Evicerate my pride
Could you give me a sign today?
Am i crying here in vain?

Take me back

I had a dream wewere in a garden..
People talking but not saying anything
You had that look in your eyes
At once biblical yet mundane
Ten thousand years like a second baby
Quantum leaps like we're walking down the street
I'd do it over but there's no point in chasing ghosts like me..
Take me back to the start
Take me back to the why we had to leave
Take me back to the day that never dies in me
Then tell me where all the light has gone
Tell me where all the light has gone
Tell me where all the light has gone
I had a dream of a starless night
A mediation, a glass of ennui
I turned around and saw you
And something ancient stirred in me..
It's all in it's all in me
But it's bried deep and now we have to dig
It's still in you it's still in me
But it's buried deep and now we've got to dig
And here we sit in this silent temple
All wrapped around us..
A womb of pregnant bliss
Just waiting for us to sing...
The sacred chant and share the kiss

Thanks for posting these, i am looking forward to reading them all.

Somewhat more mysterious then Ed's recent lyrics e.g rise or the river - maybe abit clunky in places but certainly thoughtful. Excepting Parasite which is a little on the gross side metaphorically.
