And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

With history, your bluest grace
Falls apart, cascading down
Speak to me of beautiful hate
Of island chains swept with the tide
The coral leis of a conquering king
Theyre swept away
Oh, but not lost.
Beneath the waves of trembling stars
The roads wind towards
The windward side
My soul is saved by these city lights
My face is framed by the blanket of night
Theyre swept away
Oh, but not lost.
Was I too proud to say, or to wish for
Words that I knew were forbidden?
Because I dont want to know
I didnt want to see what I saw
When I looked in the distance
Theyre swept away
Oh, but not lost
[ The Lost City Of Refuge Lyrics ]
