lyrics

Carry Me

I hear the sound of angel’s wings
There ain’t no angels out here
That’s the son of the morning star
Come to take you as you are
‘Cross that river of fire

And the past sings to the present
In a never ending echo
But the frequency is garbled with regret
And the dead sing to the living
But the living they won’t listen
So the dead drink from the river to forget.

There’s an angel here before me
But I’m not ready
What songs could my sisters sing?
I haven’t done a single thing
I’m just a badly shapened boy

Carry me…. To the other side
Carry me, Carry me…. My eyes are open wide
Carry me Carry me Carry me
Carry me Carry me


Heaven or Hell it’s all the same, you see.
Out here, the gods teach law to kings.
Once your end time has begun
Who you’ve been can’t be undone
Careful what you wish for, son.

And the past sings to the present
In a never ending echo
But the frequency is garbled with regret
And the dead sing to the living
But the living they won’t listen
So the dead drink from the river to forget.

Carry me, Carry me…. To the other side
Carry me, Carry me…. My eyes are open wide
Carry me Carry me Carry me
Carry me Carry me
