We Loyal - Reprise (Hymns and Rituals) lyrics
rate meThe rain drove in from the east
And colors were on fire
But now it's us who give away the magic
You cut your hair and so did I
The warpaint's washed away
Our tribe decays and we stand face to face
As time breaks into our palace
And draws all of us out
I see you float away but I won't reach you
And so we're woken up
From all our feverish dreaming
I'll plant a tree far beyond your garden
When we've burnt our homes and left
We might return and come together
Any ritual in reprise – would we still feel it?
In the ashes we could find
The purest pieces of each other
On our lips the ancient hymn – would we still feel it?
The hours we spent seem wasted
Now that our worlds divide
But if I had them back I would still waste them
Our steps they leave a trace
Before our eyes long hidden
The echo leads the way into the future
When we've burnt our homes and left
We might return and come together
Any ritual in reprise – would we still feel it?
In the ashes we could find
The purest pieces of each other
On our lips the ancient hymn – would we still feel it?
