Lyrics
| It was seven forty seven, we were on our way to heaven in a race car to the stars,
with a city of blazing lights embracing us. We never thought to worry, cos we only thought of glory and we trusted our lucky stars, so we never thought mere seconds would betray us. Thought we saw true in the bright youth, ghost of light come shining through. In the dawn blue, in a breath they flew. Silent now the sounds of yesterday. I’m treading on sacred ground again like a single errant ray. Showing us the wounds we both sustained and our sacred pain, till’ silent fall the sounds of yesterday. Nothing I do, nothing I say will ever turn the rising tide. In the vein of fever dreams it seems to ride us. We never said we’re sorry and the pattern wrote the story, one more death by friendly fire. All on pain of missing out on that final rush. Did we run through before we knew what it was we left behind. Hunting ghost lights all the white nights through. Silent now the sounds of yesterday… Hear them softly sigh, the sounds of yesterday. Let them heal our wounds. If I close my eyes, I can see you, oh I can see you close enough to touch. I hardly dare to dream you, oh, lest it be too much. What’s the moral of the story when I only see us fighting, elegy to, to the starry-eyed. Silent now the sounds of yesterday |
