Dead Alive Lyrics

We have come far

Looking for light beyond the shard-field of a broken heart

The dead comes alive

The ashes of November take shape in candle light

Bow, bow willow tree in the wind

Weep gray sky, for the passed and his coming

Hallowed by thy gaze

I wander this barren waste

The ones who will never arrive

We keep the dead alive

Keep the dead alive

Forgive me, but forget me not

The rope is tied, and you are the knot

When I can hardly breathe, you make me cry

We keep the dead alive

The dead keeps us alive

This year I come, your faithful grave keeper

Dew on the thorns that's left of the wreath withered

We have come far

On the road towards forgiveness and feather weighed heart

The dead comes alive

Remember the bonfires and the light in those eyes

Bow, bow willow tree in the wind

Weep gray sky, for the passed and his coming

Hallowed by thy gaze

I wander this barren waste

The ones who will never arrive

We keep the dead alive

Keep the dead alive

Forgive me, but forget me not

The rope is tied, and you are the knot

When I can hardly breathe, you make me cry

We keep the dead alive

The dead keeps us alive

This year I come to your grave

The son, the spirit the father couldn't save

I lay down my flower, and lay down my gun

Forgiveness is where true remembrance begun

You paid your time and I paid my due

These eyes spring tomorrow's morning dew

Bitter and dry, yet silent I stay

In life you failed to, but in death you show me the way

Hallowed by thy gaze

The minute hand spells my waste

What if we never arrive

While we are alive

The dead is alive

I hand over my gun and hand you the leash

Be the witness of what we achieved

Remember us, while we're alive

While we are alive

The dead is alive

Hallowed by thy gaze

I wander this barren waste

The ones who will never arrive

We keep the dead alive

Keep the dead alive

Forgive me, but forget me not

The rope is tied, and you are the knot

When I can hardly breathe, you make me cry

We keep the dead alive

The dead keeps us alive
