Figurehead Lyrics - Singles - Covenant

we wish so hard to be seen 

and pray at night to be heard 

and yet we have nothing to show 

but false words and broken dreams 

I'm the figurehead on the ship of fools 

a beacon for the liars in the dark 

I'm the first and the last I claim this land 

I'm the lost and the hungry I need this land 

the inescapable face of truth 

spins my head again 

disturbingly unable to stand back 

I'm going down 

the undeniable sense of wonder 

kicks my head in 

disturbingly unable to escape 

I dive to drown 

we want so hard to be true 

and claim the right to be good 

and yet we never seem to know 

how to reach the promised lands 

we work so hard to be wise 

and dream of light to be pure 

we need brighter death to grow 

the clean touch of virgin hands
