Shapes of the Fall

They‘ll gather no seed 

They’ll break no bread 

They‘ll gather no seed 

But a hunger Instead 

Bring me my home back 

They’ll nourish no root 

They’ll feed no soil 

They‘ll grow no leaf 

But a moaning and toil 

Bring me my home back 

Stone me and I’ll break 

Shoot me and I’ll fall 

Cut me and I’ll bleed 

Bells toll for us all 

Bring me my home back 

How bark was my home 

When wind was my bride 

When men tore our flight 

From skies far and wide 

Give me my home back 

Foghorn calling  

Thought I spied a ship at the harbour gate 

Saw the mooring  

When the anchor dropped with the iron weight 

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting 

Where there's a heart there’s something 

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting 

A hand to hope 

A hope to hold  

To drag forth the darkness from you 

Heard a whispering  

With the ballot cast on the judgement floor 

Heard a wailing  

When the word was called it was called no more 

Where there’s a wish there’s a yearning  

Where there’s a turn there’s a burning 

Where there’s a wish there’s a yearning  

A hand to hope 

A hope to hold  

To call forth the darkness from you 

Ship is leaving  

When the bell will toll it’ll toll for you 

No denying 

When the log is lost it can’t be true 

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting 

Where there's a heart there’s something 

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting

A hand to hope 

A hope to hold  

To drag forth the darkness from you 

Foghorn calling  

Foghorn calling  

Foghorn calling  

Foghorn calling  

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting 

Where there's a heart there’s something 

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting 

A hand to hope 

A hope to hold  

To drag forth the darkness from you 

Too far in 

Can’t turn back 

Too long gone 

in the gap 

Shedding skin 

I repent  

Step by step 

My lament 

For the wound Dunya  

I traded her 

For the hope and the tear Dunya 

I believed in her 

For a dream      

Colour breaks 

Over lines 

Your eyes wake 

Into mine 

Draw the blade 

Stripped and bare 

Kiss the lash 

Meet me there 

For the wound Dunya I traded her 

For the hope and the tear Dunya 

I believed in her 

In a dream     

And the moon Dunya 

I bled for her 

In a dream 

Higher the peak shadows fall  

Deeper the well the echo calls 

Here in the unknown out of the gap 

Wrapped in the fold the devil’s trap  

Milder the winter fairer the tide 

Finer the dust when sunlight climbs 

There with the ether there with the snow  

The flake on the window with the ember glowing 

Wide was the water low was the tide 

Darker the fear we rose to ride 

You pulled me under I held you there 

Together forever everywhere  

Cover the darkness heaven hell  

Over the distant peeling bells 

Ringing in hope without regret  

The living and dying of Spring are set 

Turn for tomorrow leaf over years 

Page after page bled out tears 

Faster disciple dearest of none 

Bowing to no one kingdom come 

Wide was the water low was the tide 

Darker the fear we rose to ride 

You pulled me under I held you there 

Together forever everywhere  

Wide was the water low was the tide 

Darker the fear we rose to ride 

You held me under I pulled you there 

Together forever everywhere  

All aboard pull the oar and row  

All aboard to the poles we go 

All aboard take the oar and row  

Climb aboard for the gale will blow 

All aboard to the prairies wild  

All aboard man woman and child 

All aboard to the prairies wild  

Back to back and side to side 

All aboard watch paradise burn  

All aboard for the past I yearn  

All aboard watch paradise burn  

Douse the flame will it ever return 

All aboard Noah built the arc   

All aboard now the choice is stark 

All aboard came two by two  

All aboard will he come for you 

All aboard Noah built the arc  

All aboard before the day was dark 

All aboard run from the frey  

All aboard we’ll sail away 

All aboard now the waters rise  

All aboard thunder in the skies 

All aboard now the waters rise  

On the plank before the last light dies 

All aboard pull the oar and row  

All aboard to the poles we go 

All aboard take the oar and row  

Climb aboard for the gale will blow 

All aboard pull the oar and row  

All aboard to the poles we go 

All aboard take the oar and row  

For the gale will blow 

All aboard to the prairies wild  

All aboard man woman and child 

All aboard to the prairies wild  

Back to back and side by side 

All aboard now the waters rise  

All aboard thunder in the skies 

All aboard now the waters rise  

On the plank before the last light dies 

All aboard pull the oar and row  

All aboard to the poles we go 

All aboard take the oar and row  

Climb aboard for the gale will blow 

I found a path  

Maybe it found me 

I was blind now I see 

I heard a call 

Or was it from my throat 

A murmur wound in the note 

Like a hundred lashes 

Flames give birth to ashes 

When the levee crashes  

Row 

Who stole the birds  

Tore then from the sky ? 

Who then covered up the lie? 

Back then before  

As brothers we 

Grew as leaves do for trees 

Must I long for thunder 

Longing how I wonder 

Waves will pull me under 

Row 

To be undone 

To die and be renewed 

The lies I once took to be true 

I fell for good  

Off the face of time 

When your eyes looked into mine 

Like a hundred lashes 

Flames give birth to ashes 

When the levee crashes  

Row  

Must I long for thunder 

Longing how I wonder

Waves will pull me under 

Row 

Dreams will be remains 

Fragments never claimed 

Dreams will be remains 

Gain and again  

Skies forever weep 

Teardrops I will reap 

Skies forever weep 

Never ever keep 

Hear me when I speak 

Hear me when I cry 

Hear me before I 

Lay low to lie  

Dipping with the lark gone 

Echoes of the one song 

Bending with the fold now 

Broken with the last true vow 

Nights will gather sleep 

Shepherds they will reap 

Nights will gather sleep 

Drag me to the deep 

Purpose is a fault 

Cracked under the vault 

Purpose is a fault 

Reset time to nought 

Hear me when I speak 

Hear me when I cry 

Hear me before I 

Lay low to lie  

Dipping with the lark gone 

Echoes of the one song 

Bending with the fold now 

Broken with the last true vow 

Hear them when they speak 

Hear them when they cry 

Hear them before they  

Lay low to lie  

When the longest night 

Folds back in to day 

You’ll know my love 

Not to be afraid 

It’s the way we’re made 

Makes us break away 

In your embrace  

I was meant to stay 

You’re not alone 

To the wind you take 

Murmuring desire 

At the rib you ache  

It’s the way we’re made 

Makes us break away 

Like dust and debris 

In sunlight playing 

It’s the way we’re made 

God breath into clay 

In your embrace  

I was meant to stay 

This house of ours a ball and chain  

This house of ours where no one reigns 

Forget my name and our abode  

Abandon ship abort the code  

I was at the bridge the fuel spent 

You were at the turn but why repent 

I was at the drop abandon all  

I was on my knees 

Unbreakable  

Fire fly burning up the light 

How high far into the night 

This hidden sun gave birth to stars 

Moonlight moans across the bars 

This story then in time unfolds  

This body when with words I’m told 

I was at the fall drawn to the edge 

You were at the lock torn at the thread 

I was at the flame the root the creed 

You were at the cut but why believe? 

But why believe? 

Fire fly burning up the light 

How high far into the night 

I never believed it was true 

I never believed it was you 

I never believed it was true 

I never believed it was you 

Only you only me  

Only you only me 

Only you only me 

Gone is the hour when the hand drops 

There goes the fall at the last stop

Soar on the wing south we’ve gone 

Trapped at the fold hurricane blowing 

Dive with the wind dipped in the tide 

Snapped at the edge but the wrong side 

You wouldn’t wait and I couldn’t stay  

Trick to the bait is Nature’s play  

Form is the bone with the vessel cracked 

Spoke in the wheel with the back track 

Bird on the branch with no say 

Sing a little now for another way 

Burden’s a beast without a home 

Too far gone I’ve never known 

Paradise fell on the eighth day 

We’re on the last watch  

Should I even pray ? 

I want us to grow old 

I want us to get through  

I want us to be whole 

I’d love to be as new 

I want us to evolve 

I’d like us to be true 

Then maybe we’d be whole 

And we could be as new 

I want us to grow old 

I want us to get through  

I want us to be whole 

Then we could be as new 

A little died 

Some little part of me has died 

Angel bear it to the sky 

A little died 

Little part of me has died 

Can’t help it how I tried 

I yelled before 

Yell it again 

I’ll yell it now 

Remember them 

I yelled before 

Yell it again 

I’ll yell it now 

Remember them 

A little lie 

Some little part of me a lie 

Angel hold it to the fire 

A little lie 

Little part of me a lie 

Had to tell it don’t know why 

I yelled before 

Yell it again 

I’ll yell it now 

Remember them 

I yelled before 

I’ll yell again 

I’ll yell it now 

Remember them 

I yelled before 

I’ll yell again 

I’ll yell it now 

Remember them 

You were the blood kissed by the thorn                

I was the wind in the leaf                                            

Bent at the eye of the storm                                       

North at the pole repelled and drawn                    

I wanted to fall or to be reborn                                 

Fall or to be reborn                                                       

I tried to be brave  you tried to be strong                

You said I was wise like a king  

More like a fool all along                                              

I wanted to drown in the dust of a drought            

I wanted in when the real way was out             

In when the real way was out  

And so I ran but nowhere fast                                   

I was the hare in the lights  

And the lead that fired up the glass                         

The way was dark and I should have passed        

You were the first through and I was the last 

The first through and I was the last                         

Tides always turn dipping away                              

I was the wing in flight  

Dying to return some day                                          

But I couldn’t leave nor could I stay                       

Deliver me I used to say                                             

Deliver me I used to say  

Once more to the fore but for what cause  

I heard a heartbeat and then a pause                     

Go where the real way is yours  

Go where  the real way is yours
