lyrics
Under the stars we sleep
Betrayed by our concrete and bricks we can no longer trust
Homes turned to graves in the dust
All that once was solid
The city capsizes and everyone's overboard
The earth broke its vow
And danced like the sea
I said "what shall I cry?"
All is all lost in the dust
Knocked from our knees to our backs
Where will, where will we journey from here?
All is all lost in the dust
Knocked from our knees to our backs
When will the glory be revealed?
The monsters think they can come back
And take hold of old haunts
We stand at the gates with our swords
Hunt down and kill as we've sworn
Hidden bright cogs are turning
All your uniforms will help to heal the wounds and to rebuild walls
But nothing will bring back my love
Betrayed by our concrete and bricks we can no longer trust
Homes turned to graves in the dust
All that once was solid
The city capsizes and everyone's overboard
The earth broke its vow
And danced like the sea
I said "what shall I cry?"
All is all lost in the dust
Knocked from our knees to our backs
Where will, where will we journey from here?
All is all lost in the dust
Knocked from our knees to our backs
When will the glory be revealed?
The monsters think they can come back
And take hold of old haunts
We stand at the gates with our swords
Hunt down and kill as we've sworn
Hidden bright cogs are turning
All your uniforms will help to heal the wounds and to rebuild walls
But nothing will bring back my love

His Young Heart EP
by Daughtersupported by 11 fans who also own “Earth Broke Its Vow”
almost can’t pick a favorite track. this ep has been dearly beloved to me for so long, i can’t do it justice in 500 characters. the feeling of deep, utter melancholy and mourning superimposed upon some kind of frantic energy, like a jackrabbit turning tail in midwinter, and the snowbanks are grim and endless. some of the most beautiful, haunting melodies & lyrics & everything i’ve ever heard.
