Baby, dry your eyes I've long since realized We've been compromised So quit selling me your lies Don't you dare roll your eyes This hasn't come as a surprise Your children are little You're there in the middle You're not coming home with the prize The angle of the attack You know that there's no turning back I knew from the word go That this was a shit-show I'm glad that it's fading to black I don't want to hear this again You don't need to say I don't want to do this again I don't want to play

You don't understand it We've got no time to waste We're in for heavy weather This is the end of days Are you amazed? Are you amazed? Will you walk beside me Into the fading light If I can't be yours forever Will you be mine tonight? Say that's alright Say that's alright Take a look around and be forewarned As bad as things are now This is the calm before the storm There's one thing I must say Before we reach the end I'll never desert you As you lose all your friends You lose your friends You lose your friends Take a look around and be forewarned As bad as things are now This is the calm before the storm You don't understand it We've got no time to waste We're under heavy manners This is the end of days The end of days The end of days

The rise and fall Of all your choices The rise and fall Of all your hopes You're seeing ghosts You're hearing voices Followed you down Witch Hollow Road Come down from the mountains Come down from the hills I've seen your veils Trailing behind you Deep in the woods Far out of sight I've heard you chant Among the ruins You cast your spells On moonless nights Come down from the mountains Come down from the hills I've seen you walking Witch Hollow Road I've seen talking to your ghosts

I got lost in the hills of October County Out past the grave-yard Where the old church crumbles down The mist was thick and I Saw dark shadows moving I heard a strange song Sung by some distant choir My legs grew tired And I felt myself slipping Called to slumber By some ancient lullaby In my dreams A maiden approached me Caressed my gently And whispered in my ear We moved as one And I gave myself completely 'Till I was spent And then she disappeared I've heard since There's a lad who looks just like me Out past the grave-yard Where the old church crumbles down Don't go walk In the hills of October County Out past the grave-yards Where the old church crumbles down

She sits in the dark hills And the moonlight plays on her hair I walk alone through these quiet streets But my mind is with her I just want to see her I just want to look in those eyes again All those things I should have said Swear I'll get it right The next time around Sometimes deep in these hot nights Her laugh drifts over my street I close my book and roll over And her face haunts my sleep I just want to see her I just want to look in those eyes again All those things I should have said Swear I'll get it right The next time around I just want to see her I just want to look in those eyes again All those things I should have said Swear I'll get it right The next time around Give me a next time around I need a next time around Give me a next time around

Oh when we slipped away Into the quiet of the night To that secret place Where we held each other tight Hand in hand we walked Sharing quiet songs Shared a kiss in the silent moonlight Where our hearts belonged Do you remember Slow dancing on that road The two of us together Singing songs so low Do you remember That strange light in the sky When the mist upon the meadow Glowed from 1000 fireflies I know you're always Looking for a sign To help you find your way To what you're meant to find I guess there's nothing Nothing left to say If the light of 1000 fireflies Wasn't enough to show the way Do you remember Slow dancing on that road The two of us together Singing songs so low Do you remember That strange light in the sky When the mist upon the meadow Glowed from 1000 fireflies I guess there's nothing Nothing I can say If the Night Of 1000 Fireflies Wasn't enough to make you stay

Comfort me Sarah I feel so confused I thought I was winning But it looks I lose I've got to get out but I just can't refuse To try it one more time Come to me now As the autumn draws near As cold as this union As cold as this fear That circles about me Destroying the years I'll try it one more time Try it one more time Comfort me Sarah I feel so confused I thought I was winning But it looks I lose I've got to get out but I just can't refuse To try it one more time Try it one more time

Safe Passage 03:32
I think do you remember How pilots navigate? When faced with troubled waters They'd ask the powers to grant Safe passage And now when we're together A cause to celebrate Sometimes I have to wonder Will you grant my heart Safe passage Come up onto the mountain Come up and join the play We'll drink from a dark fountain You'll never get away Night in October County When spirits congregate They'll all expect a bounty When you ask them to grant Safe passage

I wonder where you go You're so high I can't reach you You light up my path when I need you Shining little star I wonder how you are Do you ever get lonely up there? Don't worry I'll be here I can't touch you but I'll walk 'til the end of this road with you Shining little star You're so high I can't reach you But I'll wish upon you every night Will my wish come true? One day I'll be there with you We can twinkle together
