lyrics

Time, it took us
To where the water was
That’s what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh my love, don’t forsake me
Take what the water gave me

Lay me down, let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down, let the only sound
Be the overflow

And oh, poor Altas
The world’s a beast of a burden
You’ve been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That’s what the water gave us

Lay me down, let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down, let the only sound
Be the overflow

Because they took your loved ones
And returned them in exchange
For you

Would you have it any other way?

She’s a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
Oh my love, don’t forget me
When I let the water take me

Red Heaven’s Joel Tamas (guitar and voice), Trevor Lubin (guitar), Jake Ferrera (drums), Cyrus Tearlach Robertson Orkish (bass), and Allison Bruneau (voice). Someone once told me the band sounds like umami tastes. ... more
