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 smouldered 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
