lyrics

The curse has spread and powder drifted
Our little world has now twisted
The youthful moaning has matured
Now it seems our hope’s unheard
So rest my dear, you’ve fought hard
While I slept, You were my body’s guard

It’s my turn, (so) I’ll keep watch
Beneath the swingin’ clingin’ moss
& If they bite before you ‘wake
I pray The Lord your soul to take

I know you’ll dream of the days we lost
Days death didn’t cover like frost
We met in summer only days before
Fear now shields us from the swarm
Don’t let them wake you from your slumber
Baby, there’s great strength in numbers

It’s my turn, (so) I’ll keep watch
Beneath the swingin’ clingin’ moss
& If they bite before you ‘wake
I pray The Lord your soul to take

‘Cause we’ve got the one thing they all want...

We know better babe, we know their ways
We will battle with our hearts ablaze
A hoard of luck hunting slavery
They've retreated from our bravery
Knife away, put down your axe
We’ve prepared so you can just relax.

It’s my turn, so I’ll keep watch
Beneath the swingin’ clingin’ moss
& If they bite before you ‘wake
I pray The Lord your soul to take

‘Cause we’ve got the one thing they all want...
We’re alive. We’re alive.
Baby, we’re alive.
