The 12th Day

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 smoldered

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
