Bat For Lashes - Wilderness lyrics

rate me

I took my lanes to the sea

we had just pressed the shells into our bones

and we saw the queen in the sky

gently revealing the treasures of her crowns

took off all of our Armour

every last single drop of gold

and we banished the land

lifted our bodies right up into the cold

Wilderness

in the darkest night

I call out to my brothers

come join me in flight

and the tears they did roll

from the salty sea, the rainy sky

and the wide eye, the wide eyes

my heart it did swell

as the grandest of stars burst out names in the skies

I can see but a thousand

of families and friends I have thought but long gone

and the thunder claps hands as I embrace them

and we held on to every single last word

Wilderness

in the darkest night

I call out to my brothers

come join me in flight
