Lord Huron - Secret of Life lyrics
[Lord Huron - Secret of Life lyrics]
I sit alone in the dark
And I try to remember
The words you spoke when
You summoned the Ender
You chained my life to an ancient master
Will the curse be reversed if
I say it backwards?
What you crossed was a line at
The edge of the void
And you can’t crawl back
Without making a choice
But then something escaped when
You opened the gate
You cheated death and sealed your fate
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
1, 2, 3, 4
Put on your new dress tonight
Have a look to the west
The moon’s in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and my things behind
You told me you’re never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can’t forget that look in your eye
Been a long time gone
Living out on the coast
It’s a long way back from
The edge of the cosmos
Truths once known never come unknown
I learned that lesson lives ago
To die for good, it must be earned
The ways of death can never be learned
And the life I’ve lived is only dust
The darkness comes for all of us
Put on your new dress tonight
Have a look to the west
The moon’s in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind
You told me you’re never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can’t forget that look in your eye
La, da, da la, da, da
And I try to remember
The words you spoke when
You summoned the Ender
You chained my life to an ancient master
Will the curse be reversed if
I say it backwards?
What you crossed was a line at
The edge of the void
And you can’t crawl back
Without making a choice
But then something escaped when
You opened the gate
You cheated death and sealed your fate
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
1, 2, 3, 4
Put on your new dress tonight
Have a look to the west
The moon’s in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and my things behind
You told me you’re never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can’t forget that look in your eye
Been a long time gone
Living out on the coast
It’s a long way back from
The edge of the cosmos
Truths once known never come unknown
I learned that lesson lives ago
To die for good, it must be earned
The ways of death can never be learned
And the life I’ve lived is only dust
The darkness comes for all of us
Put on your new dress tonight
Have a look to the west
The moon’s in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind
You told me you’re never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can’t forget that look in your eye
La, da, da la, da, da
