lyrics

I heard you in the Chapel where the glass was all stained
My eyes were stained, my heart was stained
The panes let the light through and it coloured us red
Your hands were my hands, but my lips were lead
The sounds of you then still lingers here now
And if I want to get out, How will I get out?
The roof it was creaking, like the sound of God speaking
He begged us and willed us
to take it outside.

Then heard I voice that came out from your mouth
But it wasn’t your voice, it came out too loud
It filled me with sadness and the need to keep on
On with the right path, far away from the Long
But as you continued, with only me there to sing to
The strength of your song, it took me too far
And now there’s no path and my feet follow nothing
Dancing in madness
and lost in the dark

His house, is our house
Our sanctuary from the ones that we tire
His House, we cling to
For nothing, but the ones we desire.

Take me from Turl and away to soft pavements
Where only the sun kisses me strong
Pull me apart from my own set of madness
Out of this solitude and in to the throng
Bury me early and dig up my grave
Fill it with music and steal me away
Send me to sleep on a boat made of Angels
Push me out sailing and bring me back free

But there in the Chapel my heart remains
Obsessed with a song that won’t go away
And if I don’t sing it, can I un-think it?
Dispel the fear and put out the flame
The sounds of you then still lingers here now
And if I want to sing out, how will I sing out?
The roof it was creaking like the sound of God speaking
He begged us and willed us, to sing it again and again and again…
