Trey Anastasio - Breath and Burning lyrics

[Refrain] Breath and Burning We are made of sand Slowly turning At the waves command [Chorus 1] And what does it matter If the nightmares all came true? The black clouds that scattered across The sky so there's nothing left we can do [Verse 1] Let's celebrate while the hurricane Throws salt and water into the room The canary died The healer lied The yellow fields disappeared too soon Mid-air voltage blooms and grows Unstoppable, it's instant heat And as sinners plea on bended knee We'll be dancing here for days [Refrain] Breath and Burning We are made of sand Slowly turning At the waves command [Chorus 2] And what does it matter That the end's in sight? We're not going gently We're gonna rage with Page at the dying of the light! Hey! [Verse 2] The sudden unexpected fate Of sunken ships Was our future path Your string of beads did nothing to Prepare for you what was sure to pa** Shadow wheels in shipping lanes The angry winds blew straight from hell And the tortoise pulls his head inside his shell [Refrain] Breath and Burning We are made of sand Slowly turning At the waves command [Chorus 3] And what does it matter? It'll be over soon Our heads on a platter So lets spin in the light of the moon We've still got the light of the moon We'll dance in the light of the moon [Outro](x4) Breath and Burning
