Patrick Wolf - Anthem lyrics

The birds they sang at the break of day
Start again i heard them say
Do not dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be

Ah the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove she will be caught again
Bought and sold and sold and bought again
The dove is never free

So ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

We asked for signs the signs were sent:
The birth betrayed the marriage spent
Ah the widowhood of every government
Signs for all to see

I can't run no more

With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Sing their prayers out loud
Oh they've summoned up, summoned up
A thundercloud
And they're going to hear from me

So ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

You can add up the parts there is no sum
You can strike up the march there is no drum
Every heart, every heart to love will come
But like a refugee

So ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
How the light gets in

There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
How the light gets in how the light gets in
