Sacred Kind Lyrics

Can you sing "By the Mark"

From where you're resting now?

You take the melody

I have the harmony down

In the mother of pearl beneath my strings

You carved your hand reaching from the clouds

Was it a sign

That you would leave us all behind?

Was there anything left on earth

That could have kept you here?

Did you even know

You were the sacred kind?

Then you made the world resign

When you put your fire out

Roads you'll never drive

Unseen visions of your future wife

Instruments you would have made

And the songs you'll never get to write

They all went up in a cloud of smoke

When your flame heaved its last sigh

We missed the signs

That you would leave us all behind

Was there anything left on earth

That could have kept you here?

Did you even know

You were the sacred kind?

Then you made the world resign

When you put your fire out
