[Verse 1] Into the land of the living Black bleeds orange into blue I am coming to life Light is breaking through I can hear the bells in the city Across the ancient shore I am ready to fight Let down the scarlet cord It's time to shed this masquerade [Chorus] You cannot love in moderation You're dancing with a dead man's bones Lay your soul On the threshing floor [Verse 2] Between the walls of the river Shoulders bare the sacred stones We made it alive We are not alone
Kiss the ground And change your name [Chorus] You cannot love in moderation You're dancing with a dead man's bones Lay your soul On the threshing floor [Outro] I heard the distant battle drum The mockingbird spoke in tongues Longing for the day to come I set my face, forsook my fears I saw the city through my tears The darkness soon will disappear And be swallowed by the sun I am coming home I am coming home I am coming home I am coming home
