In Unison Lyrics
Intro:
A whisper
“Saecula saeculorum”
C:
We put out the fire and sat on the candlestick
Put on our shoes to dance on the wick
But who could have guessed, oh,
Who could have known…
That something between us had grown
Grown so tall it toppled the trees,
Grown so long that it spread down to our knees…
“I’m afraid, I’m afraid, to be here all alone…”
Said the little girl with the shadow so long
V1:
Right here, right here
In this locket, my dear
Will we swear to our last dying day
That we will join our hands like puzzles
Pieces laying across our bare feet
Those kids are like Coke bottles, they all fall down
Sticky and sweet, hair all neat
We were born to ocean waves, sat down on the shore
But now we sit in Broadmoor, shoes by the door
V2:
She spoke to me in a voice so low
Groaning in pain, swollen lymph nodes
“I ain’t gonna make it, I’m not gonna survive”
We’re both so tired, so tired of this chain
Let us out before we really go insane
The moon shines bright o’er the fields of grain
And we’re counting the days since we’ve seen the rain
She wishes for the door to open as it did once before
Let this be our diary entry, our epitaph, our lost youth
Forevermore.
C:
We put out the fire and sat on the candlestick
Put on our shoes to dance on the wick
But who could have guessed, oh,
Who could have known…
That something between us had grown
Grown so tall it toppled the trees,
Grown so long that it spread down to our knees…
“I’m afraid, I’m afraid, to be here all alone…”
Said the little girl with the shadow so long
B:
(Sample)
So no more sad eyes, no more bad vibes, no more goodbyes Just your hand in mine, our two hearts combine Will do us just fine (I promise)
V3:
She decided to step into the sunbeams…
I was sad to see her go
But the prison doors swung open,
And as I laid her body down,
Something on the wind whispered so sweet-
“Poor Rosy, poor child…”
It was my own.
C:
We put out the fire and sat on the candlestick
Put on our shoes to dance on the wick
But who could have guessed, oh,
Who could have known…
That something between us had grown
Grown so tall it toppled the trees,
Grown so long that it spread down to our knees…
“I’m afraid, I’m afraid, to be here all alone…”
Said the little girl with the shadow so long (x2)
