The frost on the timber, the howl in the wire We fed the old dogmas straight into the fire No choir of angels is coming this far Just the static of snow and a dead, empty star I’ve severed the bloodline, I’ve broken the lease On a world that demands a surrender for peace. Let the glass cities shatter, let the monuments freeze I am done with the begging, I am off of my knees. Chorus So close your eyes tight, let the oceans go black We are crossing the border and we ain't looking back Let the saints have their gold and their blinding white light We’ll find our own kingdom deep in the night Where the stars never burn and the shadows run deep In the dark side of heaven, forever to keep. Verse 2 The architects lied about building the sun The damage was written before it begun We’ll trade their salvation for dirt and for pine And bury the blueprints they called the divine. It takes a true witness to look at the flaw And walk right away from the teeth of their law. So strike the last match, let the heavy gates fall There is truth in the void, or no truth at all. Chorus So close your eyes tight, let the oceans go black We are crossing the border and we ain't looking back Let the saints have their gold and their blinding white light We’ll find our own kingdom deep in the night Where the stars never burn and the shadows run deep In the dark side of heaven, forever to keep. Bridge Two shadows reflecting, two ghosts in the snow There’s nothing above us and nothing below Just the pulse of the engine, the bite of the chill If the silence don’t save us, the wilderness will. The further we travel, the clearer the sight We were never the subjects, we were never the light. Chorus So close your eyes tight, let the oceans go black We are crossing the border and we ain't looking back Let the saints have their gold and their blinding white light We’ll find our own kingdom deep in the night Where the stars never burn and the shadows run deep In the dark side of heaven, forever to keep. Outro Let the oceans go black. There is truth in the void. Forever to keep. (Fade out on a solitary, raw acoustic guitar progression)
