Taken By The Hand – …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
By
Man and his wife were walking naked in the night Long tall shadows flickered in the candle light Walk him to the sand, where she takes him by the hand And they begin to bond And they sang this song knowing not they’re wrong
Tan electric pours out from these naked pores Worlds collide, never passed this way before And she walks him to the sand, where they meet the other man And they begin to bond And they sang this song knowing not they’re wrong
Standing alone She takes him by the hand, takes him by the hand Floating along She takes him through the sand, where they meet the other men They’ll be standing alone She takes him down to sand, where she takes the other men They’ll be floating along She takes him, takes them
Mirrors of dawnlight reflecting the three-sided star Swift as the arrows descend on the battle The light and the dark parted by rivers of fire Come lay you down by your wounded love as she dies All alone Come lay you down as she dies all alone
Silence descends on the fields as the moon watches on Bloodied and ragged the fighters continue up Those who remain rushing to waters so calm Feeling their bodies lifted up as they drown All alone Come to the field as you drown all alone
Give me the world, his shrill voice demands Wonders at the cuts and bruises left upon his hands Then giving him the word, then giving him the world They begin to bond And they sang this song knowing not they’re wrong
Standing alone She takes him by the hand, she takes him by the hand Floating along She leads him through the sand, where they meet the other men They’ll be standing alone She makes him understand when she takes him by the hand They’ll be floating along She takes him, takes them
