lyrics

Can you hear?
Can you hear me?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

The wind she sings with her hollow tongue
Reveals cracks and spaces
That have been there for so long
Cloaked beneath the darkness
The wind she howls her ferocious roar
Tearing at rooves and tree tops
Where we quiver not from the cold
But the power that this night holds

We sit here waiting anticipating
Praying its not our hour to be
Taken
To be taken

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Skeleton trees twist through the mist
Leaves torn from their branches
They bend so close to breaking
The wind her fill she’s taking
On the hill no lights do dance
Just the ever darkening expanse we

We sit here waiting
As candle light starts painting
We sit here waiting
Praying not to be taken

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

No light, no light just the darkest night
Where haunting melodies steel away the sea
They dance freely
As thundering sea stallions they breathe

We sit here waiting anticipating
Praying its not our hour to be
Taken
To be taken

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

We sit here waiting anticipating
Praying its not our hour to be
Taken
To be taken
