Ransom Lyrics - Lanterns - Son Lux

[Ieva Berberian] 

What wish will ransom me 

Unbury violently 

All innocents, all innocents? 

Lanterns illumine me 

Burning the memory 

Rise innocent, rise innocent 

What rage will usher me 

Swallow the enemy 

Buy innocence, buy innocence? 

Lanterns illumine me 

Incense from memory 

Rise innocent, rise innocent 

[Ryan Lott] 

Or is the long war won? 

The army in me gone 

Overrun? 

To heal this violent son 

A breath from one last lung 

Overcomes 

[Ryan Lott] 

Pull out the song from every open mouth at once 

The lantern tongues! 

Pull out the song from every open mouth at once 

The lantern tongues! 

And I will hear the song in every heart at once 

The roaring drums 

The harlot and the priest, the prophet and the thief 

Up from their knees 

In all their open mouths I see the lantern tongues 

Light up at once 

In all their open mouths I see the lantern tongues 

Light up at once 

[Ieva Berberian] 

What wish will ransom me 

Unbury violently 

All innocents, all innocents? 

Lanterns illumine me 

Burning the memory 

Rise innocent, rise innocent 

What rage will usher me 

Swallow the enemy 

Buy innocence, buy innocence? 

Lanterns illumine me 

Incense from memory 

Rise innocent, rise innocent
