Lyrics We the Drowned

Hey guys,

I need help with the lyrics for We the Drowned:

I really don't understand much.

This is what I think I hear:

We the drowned
hold our hollow ...
til we swallow ourselves now
again

We the ashes
we spend our days like matches
and we burn our ships as ...
the end

We know not the fire in which we burn
and we sing, and we sing and the flames go higher
we read not the pages which we turn
but we sing, and we sing, and we sing, and we sing

We
???
like this, like this

We ...
the lost and found out
we are all finished

Can anybody help? Please? :-)

I was going to start a thread for this then saw your post

I was listening to the torrent of the Sydney Opera House gig and it sounded clearer, the only word I'm really unsure on is 'we the wrong'. Do you think that sounds right? Anyway, here's what I got

We, the drowned
Hold our hollow hearted ground
Till we swallow ourselves down
Again, again

We, the ashes
We spend our days like matches
And we burn our ships as black as
The end, the end
The end, the end

We know not the fire in which we burn
But we sing and we sing and the flames go higher
We read not the pages which we turn
But we sing and we sing and we sing and we sing

Oh we the wrong,
We the sewed up and long gone
Were we fallen all along
Like this, like this
Like this, like this

We, the drowned
The lost
And found out
We are all finished
