aurora Lyrics

I grew up in a small, small town

In fact I can still see it now

Through the blues and greens and whites and yellows

Everything is peaceful, don't wanna go home

At twilight, all's a shade of gray

I keep my eyes open till the colors decay

Then the fairy lights shine bright like hailstones

In my dreams, I'm fast asleep in my cradle

And the aurora fades

Then the aurora fades

My arms are growing numb

In my memory, all is none

But I hear her voice still ringing in my ear

She's singing lullabies to quell my fears

And the ocean waves play her song

They laugh and they chatter, on and on

They bring their news to me, they're my seer

And they tell me, be sure, nothing goes wrong here

Till the aurora fades

When the aurora fades

I sit and wait, learned from the best

I took the truth out of your chest

You plucked the feathers from my crest

Just to place them on your head

I took my leave from all of this

You'll write your fables and your myths

I will erase my name in it

I will erase my name in them

You burned my home, you stole my prayers

You kept me hungry and it fed

You read my journals, took my pen

You wrote my story before I can

I lie right here, I hear your prayers

I lurk in shadows, it's been said

I wait for the right time to show my hand

You took my life, but so be it

(Oh)

Till the aurora fades

Till the aurora fades
