The 12th day Lyrics

The 12th day Lyrics

Through the longest night, by this candle-light
We stand to cut the dark in two
And the concrete rain shattered window panes
But, no, it never shattered you
As long as there is blood inside my veins...

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky...
On that day, I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes...
These wounded eyes!

And the 12th day showed that the sun still rose
As we tried to find our way
Through the steel and smoke, though it smouldered
We were cold and blanketed by grey
All we had was everything we gave...

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky...
On that day, I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes...
These wounded eyes!

And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
We remember, we recover
As we hold on to each other
And our scars have made us stronger!
Turning strangers into brothers!
As we hold on to each other!
In a silent moment, we think of you now

I will sing this out
'Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky...
On that day, I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes...
These wounded eyes!

These empty spaces, across a bruised skyline
The names and faces, I can't erase them from my mind
These empty spaces, across a bruised skyline
The names and faces, I can't erase them from my mind
