Hopes are hard as rock here
A sacrifice in the name of heat
Hopes are all I've got
Pinned on diamonds
Stretch my body out
Before the sky
Comes down
Stretch my palms out to the farthest stars
Burn my shoes in the sand
Salt myself in crystals
Preserve some of the music
I have a godlike desire
To lie down in the street
Let the waters of the gutters
Run right over me
Sky break open
Pour it down into me
But the godlike desire
To turn a back to the breeze
Freeze
Change the direction
Of the wind that moves me
For when the world ends
And someone will sing the last song
Someone dreams the first hymn
When the world will spin again
What the song says to the sound
And the flame to the flower
Stretch my body out
Before the sky
Comes down
Stretch my palms out to the farthest stars
Burn my shoes in the sand
Salt myself in crystals
Preserve some of the music
Last living inch
She comes dancing near
What the night says to the horizon
"When will I meet you?"
Bring the oceans down
Bring the skies to meet the ground
What the master to the keeper
Hopes are hard as rock here
In the name of heat
I have a godlike desire
To lie down in the street
Let the waters of the gutters
Run right over me
Sky break open
Pour it down into me
But the godlike desire
To turn a back to the breeze
Freeze
Change the direction
Of the wind that moves me
Bring the oceans down
Bring the skies to meet the ground
For when the world ends
And someone will sing the last song
Someone dreams the first hymn
When the world will spin again
What the song says of the hour
And the flame to the flower
Stretch my body out
Before the sky
Comes down
Stretch my palms out to the farthest stars
Burn my shoes in the sand
Salt myself in crystals
Preserve some of the music
