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?

The One

Down in the river we were dyin'
Forlorn and washed away
Hypnotized by the sound
The beating heart of yesterday
I'll never fall back just to follow
I will take you on
And bring you to the place
Where darness bleeds into the sun

The one you love
The one you fear
Couldn't make me disappear
And now i'm risin from the ashes of that fire
This will take you down you should know
I will never let you go
In this life or the next one
We will meet again
Now what was it that you were sayin'?

Out of the mist there came a creature
Made by the man who sowed
Devilish seeds into the soil
Of his achin' soul
It's all so pretty on the outside
But it's all for show
Inside the cankers bleed
As justice takes it's heavy toll

Shut up your face , i'm talkin'
I'm letting you know
That now, now is the time
That i'll be risin'
I'll be shinin' with the one
The one you love
the one you fear
Couldn't make me disappear
Now i'm risin' from the ashes of that fire
This will take you down
