Blank that kill
I know
We watch the soldiers count the dead

Is this all we are
Fragile in our
With muted hearts and lace
We watch the soldiers count the dead

come and wash this alive
Our hearts are heavy now
please and wash this away
As we find out what we are

Out in the
As a city
We sleep to
A and a lamb
In the great machine

crashes down
To on cedar limbs
Lambs curl beneath Cheshire grins
And we sanctity
A promise and a one way street
The blackest
As we count the dead
And we watch the soldiers kill again

(chorus)

Mother let it out
Faith and scream save our ship
Come save us now
You've got your haven't you
They're all you've got
We've got our and our half truths
So we sleep it off

Counting it down
We're counting it down again
run red
Counting it down
We're counting it down again
to the end

We watch the soldiers count the dead

(chorus)
