Wake in the morning and you'll find him gone
Hardworn hearts are singing bitter songs
Empty vessels calling for a form
Forgo futures, lives unlived, undone
Days agaze and gaping wide open
Living for the fruit of illusion
And the narrow gate of cold reason
Oh the end was coming all the time
Bodies fell in dreams on the front line
Heaven never tasted so sublime
Than the days we made when you were mine
We'll pretend that it's nobody's fault
Charge yourself until you will revolt
Store your anger up inside your vault
Under lock and key and bar and bolt
All you hold you know you can't exalt
By and by we all defy our growth
Oh the end was coming all the time
Bodies fell in dreams on the front line
Heaven never tasted so sublime
Than the days we made when you were mine

One of my favorite albums ever and I listen to it all the time, every song is beautifully made and I admire the songwriting. Way Up on the Mountain wrenches my heart in the best possible way, the blending and passion of these singers is something genuinely special. feathered_fingernail
