Lyrics
Howl
Stories tell of a ship that sails
And darkness follows where time has failed
Shadows move and blind men catch
Secret fruit from the limbs that snapped
The rivers? wild child don?t be afraid
The clouds are marching out to sea with rage
The smoke rolls heavy, the devil smiles
On wooden soldiers to feed the pile
Layer for layer of skin unfolds
And tells a story of a soul that?s been sold
For the sake of peace, but what about the restless place beneath
The tree are talking about the end of days
The dogs are howling as the lightning fades
But it takes an eye not touched by time to catch
The fall of Eden and the grass grow back
With every story there?s? a slope
The short-sighted hero must learn to let go
The world must change even for the rest of us that wait
Throw the line I?m tired of feeling sane
Bring the night chest high in the waves and howl
Chaos is calling you
Throw the lies, I?m tired of chasing safe
Pull the tide, moonlight on your face and howl
The sun is rising, the sails are full
The ship is moving, time?s slave, I pull
And its taking all I have to keep the pace
You laugh then cry, I know it?s hard to wait
But what does love ever do
When it?s wrapped in a word, just a fool?s misuse
The mind is pleased, but what about the nameless place that sings
Throw the line I?m tired of feeling sane
Bring the night chest high in the waves and howl
Chaos is calling you
Throw the lies, I?m tired of chasing safe
Pull the tide, moonlight on your face and howl
For all this can be
My face shows much more than it fails to pretend
The curse of youth until the end
But have I the strength to let go
With every story there?s a catch
The song never ends, it just keeps rolling back
All shall be, but I found the restless place in me
