Lost in Light - Light Lions

Beg for mercy, but we know That my every prayer was born to fail Whatever it takes Whatever it costs This can't be the life that I've lost Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery I'm losing the battle, but we know That it was over when the war began Whatever it takes Whatever it costs I will claim the life that I've lost (Until my dying day) Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery This I swear On all that's holy I'll die for life And it consumes me I'll die for life Follow me down I'll die for life Follow me One chance, my only desire Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery I'll die for life Follow me down I'll die for life Follow me

I'm lost in the light I pray for the night To take me, to take me to After so many words Still nothing's heard I don't know what we should do If someone can see me now, let them see you Let them see you See you through All the hard things we've all gotta do 'Cause this life is long So you wouldn't be wrong Bein' free here with me on my own It was my greatest thrill But we just stood still You let me hold your hand 'til I had my fill Even countin' sheep Don't help me sleep I just toss and turn right there beside you Someone could help me now, they'd help you too. Let them see you See you through All the hard things we've all gotta do 'Cause this life is long So you wouldn't be wrong Bein' free here with me on my own

A thief in the night came Took everything you gave for her This song isn't low, lady It's remembering love made in the summer But I think of the things that it taught me I learned that there's beauty I can't keep Learned that there's demons in stories Letting her down, no, I won't be Whenever she's calling, she'll call me Angry and seething as the sea Songs in cathedrals in month three Promise you'll smile off a memory And I, I, I I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home Yeah, it should feel like something you were missing To all my friends, you'll find your way Some summer night, I hope I see you again All my friends, I'd love to stay Some summer night, I hope I see you again Looking up lately The moon doesn't chase me no more Before it was childlike Lost in the soft light, and so on, so on And I, I, I I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home And yeah, it should be when she read out all she'd written To all my friends, you'll find your way Some summer night, I hope I see you again All my friends, I'd love to stay Some summer night, I hope I see you again The smell of rain and streetlight thrown A love, a lantern in the snow When she feels it taking hold She finds it so hard letting go How can I tell her that we'll shine? She dreads the devil's yet to show So damn reluctant to expose it to me, so when So I think of the things that it taught me She starts to think evil has lost me I walked with the wolves and it haunts me She steps with intention to run free So stunner, don't ever move softly You've been on a journey they can't see When dancing in ballrooms, you will lead Promise you'll smile off a memory And I, I, I I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home And yeah, it should feel like something you were missing To all my friends, you'll find your way Some summer night, I hope I see you again All my friends, I'd love to stay Some summer night, I hope I see you again The smell of rain and streetlight thrown A love, a lantern in the snow But when she feels it taking hold She finds it so hard letting go How can I tell her that we'll shine? She dreads the devil's yet to show What I told you when That I told you when

Red sun go down way over dirty town Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals Yes and a girl is there high heeling across the square Wind it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light She looks around to find a face she can like. Church bell clinging on just a trying to get a crowd for Evensong Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays They're all in the station praying for trains Congregation late again It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days Drunk old soldier he give her a fright He's a crazy lion he's a-howling for a fight Strap hanging gunshot sound Doors slamming on the overground Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone Her evening paper is horror torn But there's hope later for Capricorns Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home Then she's reading about a swing to the right But she's a-thinking about a stranger in the night I'm thinking about the lions Thinking about the lions What happened to the lions tonight. Tonight tonight Thinking about the lions

Hungry is my state of mind Bad love left me high and dry World is getting hotter Lead me to the water You know I need some Ah ah would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be Darkness creeping late at night Knows just how to talk to me when I'm tired Feeding on my weakness Planted in the season when I was so young Would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be I won't let the devil get over But when the water's boiled up and the pot starts to burn You start to understand the man Oooh, yeah
