O Sleeper Lyrics - The Oh Hellos

While the weary nations weep 

Awakening me from a dream 

I see the moonlight steal across my sheets 

My love is lying fast asleep 

Chasing its beams 

She stirs, and then she turns her back to me 

The clouds overhead open up 

For the wicked and just all the same 

And lay low the hills, so to fill 

Every valley below to the brim 

But like the sun that turns the sky 

Illuminating all, in time 

The tables in the temple will be turned on their side 

And just as it scorches up the dunes 

Beneath the height of noon 

The pillars of the empire will be burned, in kind

And by the holy rock I stand 

As blessed as the sacred ram 

I see the trail of shoulders I've climbed over, but 

By god, I'll bloody up my hands 

With everything I am 

To cut away the mountains I've made 

And fill the dales below
