o sanctum swallow me

no sound the river frozen

our bed is in that ocean

gather the church to me

souls dripping down devotion

my mother speaks

on a wave washed away

all that water washed away

fall to water washed away

all that water washed

on a wave washed away

all that water washed away

fall to water washed away

all that water washed

o sanctum covet me

we find the river swollen

our birth is in that ocean

no heights will harbour me

you're too near you're far away

you're too near you're far away

on a wave washed away

all that water washed away

fall to water washed away

all that water washed

on a wave washed away

all that water washed away

fall to water washed away

all that water washed

you know what it feels like

when that grinning skull all speak

so take me over let the city fall from me

in between the islands we will swim like children speak

no one can hold us now

no one can hold us now

on a wave washed away

all that water washed away

fall to water washed away

all that water washed

on a wave washed away

all that water washed away

fall to water washed away

all that water washed

on a wave washed away

all that water washed away

fall to water washed away

all that water washed

on a wave washed away

all that water washed away

fall to water washed away

all that water washed
