True Adventures Lyrics - British Sea Power

Turgid calls the winter charge 

True adventures of awaking hearts 

Nights are overwhelmed by gloom 

We will see foxes in the moon 

Valleys drop, mountains rise 

Lift your head, brave the skies 

All of the forgotten names 

Lakes are forming on the pockets of your brain 

And there in the distant glow 

A shadow on shadow 

At once so strong and weak 

In the sunken lines they speak 

You think it's gone, my friend 

But it comes back again 

Senescence or senility 

How long until you sleep? 

Discarded for all it's worth 

Now it's quiet under this fresh earth 

Valleys drop, mountains rise 

Lift your head, brave the skies 

You think it's gone, my friend 

But it comes back again 

And there is a final cry 

A whimper and a sigh 

And what was fast is slow 

And what was brass is gold 

Valleys drop, mountains rise 

Lift your head, brave the skies 

You think it's gone, my friend 

But it comes back again 

You think it's gone, my friend 

But it comes back again
