歌曲: The Last Lost Continent

歌词:

I felt your sickness brush against my arm as I walked by you

Heard your voice but couldn't tell that it was you

And slowly watched your sickness slip away

Into a place that I'd once feared

But I was not afraid this time

So I gave chase and found it finally

Slowly feeding from your head

And from my friends and from my family

So I grabbed it by the neck

For every lover you have ruined

I dug my nails into its flesh

And every life that you have taken

Slammed it's head against the brick

It's blood poured out onto the pavement

I stirred it in with dirt and spit

I will take a part of you

I made mortar from the mix

Tore every organ from its body

Broke it's bone and fashioned bricks

I laid the mortar in between

I made a throne for hope to sit

Too long you've torn us into pieces

Firmly held onto our wrists

Today I buried you in me

I swallowed every inch of it



I'll hold you as you have held me

You've held me in your heart

We'll be, we'll be set free from

We'll be set free from fear

We'll be set free

We've felt our failures

We've watched our passions leave

But we're still breathing on

We're still breathing on

I'll hold you as you have held me

You've held me in your heart

And I will hold you in my heart



But I still see him dead in the parking lot

At the gas station just down the street

And I still hear my friend say

You know, you wouldn't believe the things I saw when I was stationed overseas

But he somehow keeps smiling in spite of all of that

While I keep finding ways to push the good out for the bad

Oh, how selfish of myself

To always say that it was more than I could take

Like it was pain I couldn't shake

Like it could break me with its fingers

Throw my body in the lake and I would slowly sink away

But the truth is it was sorrow that I made and wouldn't face

See, I keep falling for the future after tripping on the past

And I am always tearing sutures out to make the anguish last

Like it defines me or reminds me

And uncertainty in happiness and death

Because what's next is such a mystery to me

And I am terrified of all the things I feel but cannot see

Friends and family

Put your hand into my hand and lay your head into my chest

You are all that I have left here

We are all that we have left



We are the lovers

We are the last of our kind

So link your arms and keep your chin up

And I swear that we'll be fine

We are the lovers

We are the last of our kind



Though we are not sure who we are

We keep our heads up

Though we are not sure where we're from

We keep our hearts up

Though we are not sure when we'll leave

We keep our heads up

Though we are not sure where we'll go

We keep our hopes up

Though we're not sure who we are

We keep our heads up

Though we're not sure where we're from

We keep our hearts up

Though we're not sure when we'll leave

We keep our heads up

Though we're not sure where we'll go

We keep our hopes up



Keep your head up

We're fine

Just keep your head up

I swear we'll be alright

Keep your head up

My friends, my friends

Keep your head up, I swear

I swear we'll never die

I swear we'll get home safe and sound

I swear

I swear we'll never die

I swear we'll live on underground

I swear



I will give your heart a place to rest

When everything you had has turned and left



I'll weave your names into my ribcage

Lock your hearts inside my chest

Regain the passion I once carried

Do away with all the rest

I tore the sickness from your bodies

Smashed its head against the bricks

I made a castle from its bones

That you may always dwell in it

So sing for every buried moment

That you thought would never end

And sing your fears about the future

And a dirge for faded friends

For all the love that you had held to

Why it somehow failed to keep

And sing for each minute you've been frightened

Every hour you've lost sleep

And sing for all your friends and family

Sing for those who didn't survive

Sing a song of how they tried

We live amidst a silent storm

Leaves us unsatisfied at best

So fill your heart with what's important

And be done with all the rest

We are what's left of what we once were

We are falling far behind

There's so much stacking up against us

And we're running out of time

We are but hopeful children

And we're the last of our kind

But if we let our hearts move outward

I know we will never



We are but friends and family

We are the last of our kind

So hold my hand, I'll lift your head up

And I promise we'll be fine

We are but hopeful lovers

And we are running out of time

There's so much stacking up against us

And we're falling far behind

We are but hopeful lovers

We are the last of our kind

But if we let our hearts move outward

I know we will never

We are but lovers

We are the last of our kind

And if we let our hearts move outward

I know we will never

We are but lovers

We are the last of our kind

And if we let our hearts move outward

We will never die
