One of the most romantic songs I've heard in a long time. Perfect for use in a movie. But I found it first, so dibs. Back off, movie-making song-stealing whores.
By shadowing/all the darkened fields/of forgotten words/and civilian lives/through violence/through the changing guards/through the grinding away/and the furious marching/by gathering/the holy light/and weathering/a cast away life/and the rising fear--/The hollowness/of the flags and gods/that are raised in the air/in the wake of their raging-/Your skinny arms/hold a lantern up/on the brightest array/of the stars in their moorings/and summoning/the holy light/on their citadels/the blackening sky/the collapsing sun, the burning wall/that approaches our eyes-/you live again/in the shuddering light/of these images/this valediction:/you are running from a rising tide/you are castaways
