lyrics

The trees press their million hands to the ground,
But my skin won’t shed ‘til February.
And by then I know that my wrists are bound,
Wish the noose was far from ordinary.

“I guess I was only his final thought!” (Repeat 4x)

Best to keep the women and children inside,
You know this is no place for breathing.
‘Cause when you catch a glimpse of the raw neckline,
The lungs don’t even think of screaming. (Repeat 2x)

Deliver my name to a god who’ll bide my time.
‘Cause I’ve met enough men to know that if you ain’t living,
You’re just waiting around to die.
Hope that he makes up his mind right soon,
Before the world goes burning off.
He’s locked his runner away somewhere,
I guess I was only his final thought!

Old man could tell you stories of truth,
Says there’s no time for wasting.
The mountains echo their gun salutes,
There’s no soul for saving.

So swing low! Swing low!
Grab whatever you can, we’re only in it to survive.
And aim high! Aim high!
The sun is only so far, when we’re by the graveside. (Repeat x2)

O, the binding vine draws blood,
When it climbs so closely up my leg.
The Earth wore away and writhed in the mud,
Now I’m all that’s left

So deliver my name (Swing Low!)
To a sun that never sleeps
Apollo flies through its rays (Aim high!)
And never weeps
Deliver my soul (Swing Low!)
Through golden reigns
And I will rise (I will rise!)
So you remember my name

And now behold
My heart can beat!
