Lyrics The Echoing Green

The Echoing Green

Sanctuary

take naivety from me

and leave me isolated

all at once I feel so free

yet so captivated

you make the endless waves of time

seem so temporary,

you're my missionary...

emissary...

adversary.

R: you define the line

between human and divine

in this empty place

intrinsic grace so necessary

see the skies divide

when hope and fear collides

from this cemetery

offer me this sanctuary

there is violence when you move

yet I'm stationary

devastate all my design

and make it arbitrary

you break my legs yet leave my knees

my will penetrated

I'm eviscerated..

consecrated..

lacerated!

R: you define the line

between human and divine

in this empty place

intrinsic grace so necessary

see the skies divide

when hope and fear collide

from this cemetery

offer me this sanctuary

this heart you break it

and make it sacred

these eyes awaken

this breath is taken from you

R: you define the line

between human and divine

in this empty place

intrinsic grace so necessary

see the skies divide

when hope and fear collide

from this cemetery

offer me this sanctuary
