There Is An Ocean Lyrics

It used to be that we were

All of us alone, with our intent to stay that way

The mountains came

To push us apart

And we obeyed

Without question or strain

But some wouldn't budge

So they bore right on through

The barricades

And held tight onto each other

With their own intent to stay

Hollow the sound of the footsteps above,

And you can feel its eyes are watching

The sun has set so many times

So pray that it goes away

And pray that it doesn't return

So dark the coming days

So cover your eyes again

I'll cover your mouth with my hand

Your sweet breath all the same

And nobody hears it now

And nobody suspects a thing

Before I dig this grave,

Who do you call for?

Under the shadows, the auspices,

Guided to rake of this land all the fates we disbelieve

So cover your eyes again.

It used to be the ones we loved,

The ones we carried with us

It used to be the skies above

Would fill with the blackest smoke and

High, Heaven will know the place I go,

I know, I know, oh I know

Everything else it used to be

Is it better now?

(Hope carry us under,

Breathe into us, always

Calm strains suffice,

Ever soft, signify

Let our hearts fill with tears

Let our eyes fill with blood)
