Sleeping At Last - Earth lyrics
[Sleeping At Last - Earth lyrics]
I dig till my shovel tells a secret
Swear to the earth that I will keep it
Brush off the dirt and let
My change of heart occur
Sold soon after the appraisal
The hammer struck the auction table
Louder than anything I've ever heard
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline
I bend the definition of faith
To exonerate my blind eye
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe
Meanwhile, my family’s taking shelter
The sparks send the fire down the wire
A countdown begins until the
Dynamite gives in
The echo, as wide as the equator
Travels through a world of built up anger
Too late to pull it'self together
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline
I bend the definition of faith
To exonerate my blind eye
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe
There was an earthquake
There was an avalanche of change
We were so afraid
We cried ourselves a hurricane
There were floods tidal waves over us
So we folded our hands and prayed
Like a domino these wildfires grow and grow
Until a brand new world takes shape
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline
I bend the definition of faith
To exonerate my blind eye
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe
Until the sirens sound, I'm safe
Until the sirens sound, I'm safe
Swear to the earth that I will keep it
Brush off the dirt and let
My change of heart occur
Sold soon after the appraisal
The hammer struck the auction table
Louder than anything I've ever heard
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline
I bend the definition of faith
To exonerate my blind eye
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe
Meanwhile, my family’s taking shelter
The sparks send the fire down the wire
A countdown begins until the
Dynamite gives in
The echo, as wide as the equator
Travels through a world of built up anger
Too late to pull it'self together
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline
I bend the definition of faith
To exonerate my blind eye
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe
There was an earthquake
There was an avalanche of change
We were so afraid
We cried ourselves a hurricane
There were floods tidal waves over us
So we folded our hands and prayed
Like a domino these wildfires grow and grow
Until a brand new world takes shape
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline
I bend the definition of faith
To exonerate my blind eye
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe
Until the sirens sound, I'm safe
Until the sirens sound, I'm safe
