Dead Man's Lantern Lyrics - Singles - After Three Seconds

The winds that hide the sighs of lovers written words deny 

Whisper with spectral voices 

The roots that felt the weight of soles and souls now drowned in fate 

Young dreams and mortal choices 

The clouds that drape the trees in fog that falls thick at my knees 

Descend on autumn slowly 

The mountain that we made from shattered hearts lain here displayed 

Rises to block the sunlight 

Wind, pray, delay your judgment one more day 

Things we search and find, lives we've left behind, oh 

Free 

One dream to be alive 

The wind will sweep away the scattered lights of another day 

The cool dusk now takes a dark turn 

The inky night will flow through open mouths 

The world we know hangs like a dead man's lantern 

The dim flickering light shows ghosts that dream, that beg for flight 

Caged in by withered branches 

A dark canopy weighs on darkened dreams and empty days 

Dead cries for second chances 

Fade away if you can't stand to take it one more day 

Flee your darkened soul, heart's an empty hole, oh 

Free 

One dream to be alive 

And feel all I conceal 

Revive 

When the world won't give way to your high-hearted dreams 

Push it back 'till it breaks at the seams 

Bleeding through like a rainstorm that cleanses the skies 

Now let loose all your burdens and fly
