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 |
