Agnes Obel - The Curse lyrics

And the people went into their hide, they oh
From the start they didn't know exactly why
Why
Winter came and made it so all look alike
Look alike underneath the grass would grow
Aiming at the sky

It was swift, it was just
Another wave of a miracle but no one
Nothing at all would go for the kill
If they called on every soul in the land
On the moon only then would they know
A blessing in disguise

The curse ruled from the underground
Down by the shore and their hope grew with a
Hunger to live unlike before
The curse ruled from the underground
Down by the shore and their hope grew with a
Hunger to live unlike before

Tell me now of the very
Souls that look alike, look alike
Do you know the stranglehold
Covering their eyes?
If I call on every soul in the land
On the moon tell me if I'll ever know
A blessing in disguise

The curse ruled from the underground
Down by the shore and their hope grew with a
Hunger to live unlike before
And the curse ruled from the
Underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a
Hunger to live unlike before
