Kingdom
04:24
|
|||
|
are we only half alive
embers drifting in the night
looking, wandering all the time
we seek a kingdom
this is not my home
this skin and bone
the daylight will reconcile the dead and the gone
let the kingdom come
long have we been on the road
but we don't face these hills alone
rising from these broken stones
we seek a kingdom
this is not my home
this skin and bone
the daylight will reconcile the dead and the gone
let the kingdom come
I can see it on your face
brother, you've been bearing the weight
sister, you are more than they say
there are whispers of a river
flowing in our veins
the hope of the after
a reckoning day
this is not my home
these aching bones
the fallen, the crucified arise with the dawn
let the kingdom come
this is not my home
this skin and bone
the daylight will raise to life the dead and the gone
let the kingdom come

Hollow Machine
04:00
|

|
oh, when I was young
before the war was won
I haunted the metal, the hollow machine
oh, the mighty guns
over the battle lines
I heard the rumor rise
I held to the iron with smoke in my lungs
oh, the raging tide
oh, and I could feel the pull
down to the sleep below
'cause there ain't no rest in the fight or the silence
oh, the crushing blow
even so, did hope find a way in the fear
and pulled me through the very heart of the deep
and freedom's song, sweet upon the waves
a hallelujah reaching us where we break

I Will Find You
04:58
|
|||
|
I saw every shattered pane
and every shadow in the waiting
and every fear without a name
I saw every crimson tail light flame
and every step beyond the walls
and truth lay in the street forgotten
but I will not leave you lost
can you see, I've loved you all along
I will find you
I don't fear the night
I've stared the darkness in the face
and I know the heavy rain
and every sweeping scarlet blade
but they will never close these blazing eyes
I will find you
I don't fear the night
I'm burning through
I won't sleep tonight
did you know I saw you fall
but did you hear the prayer down the hallway
or see those headlights shining late
drawing closer, sure as the coming day
I will find you
I don't fear the night
I'm burning through
I won't sleep tonight
I will find you
I won't sleep tonight

Light Song
05:13
|
|||
|
keep on holding
keep on holding
keep on holding
holding out hope for me
I'm looking to the morning
for though I sit in darkness
He will shine a light on me
though I'm weak, I'm strong
though I may have fallen
I will rise again
and what was sown in weakness
will be raised again in power
will be raised up in the light
so I'm holding
I am holding
I am holding
holding out hope for you

The Train
04:18
|
|||
|
come on boys, we'll see where this road gives up
blacktop and gasoline, it won't be enough
but I keep shifting into neutral while the river's racing by
yea I'm sitting in the chamber, locked and loaded, let me fly
you won't forget the quakes, they get in your bones
and I have seen the flames taking cities whole
and all my kings and queens and aces now discarded to the fire
every dollar, every boardwalk, every ticket on the line
take all these tokens, I don't need them now
lay every trophy down in the ground
now I have heard a sound in my waking dreams
someone's father was calling out, "here come 819"
was it the hammer through the floorboards or the rumble of the train
or the thunder of the engine through the silence of a name
and all these horses, they're rolling on
tell all the broken, we're going home
was it the hammer through the floorboards or the rumble of the train
or the thunder of the engine through the silence of a name
I hear the buzzing of cicadas as the evening starts to fade
the crumbling concrete of empires, they won't even last the day
and every long forgotten story finds the breath of life again
all the hymns below the churchyard find again the tongues of men
and every tear and every stain, every sin be washed away
every grave will be abandoned, even death will pass away

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since.
