Lyrics Swallow the Sun

Swallow the Sun

New Moon

"Tomorrow will be worse"

I heard her say as she closed the curtains

And walked away

Tied on the bed by hands of the past

Memories too painful to be opened

My body crushed and burned from escaping life

The sleep will come, with horrors of you...

New moon, would you open the gates

and take me away from this night

New moon, between the curtains

Walk me away on your silvery bridge

New moon, lay your mercy on me tonight

The despair of morning sun, beams of unholy light

No one can read the signs of these eyes

The prayer of escape, I will never heal

The flames on my skin to wash all bad away

Was unpurifying kiss of suffering

But I judge myself to give it all away, for you...

New moon, would you open the gates

and take me away from this night

New moon, between the curtains

Walk me away on your silvery bridge

New moon, lay your mercy on me tonight
