One from Many - Ballad for Undying Anadine Lyrics

We've known each other for some time
You've got your foes, some of them mine
I'd gladly see you tied and bound
Roots torn up from familiar ground
This ship don't run on earthly things
It's driven by golden angels' wings
Today is just like yesterday
The wind in my sails ain't here to stay

A devil dances on my chest
He's claiming this will never last
I spied a damsel on the tracks
But it seems the train's going too fast
Some gentle blessing in disguise
I saw the rapture in her eyes
She picked me up, though she could tell
That I fear love and not much else

You lit me up, you cast me out
To that wasteland apathetic with drought
You felt at ease, having never known
It's not my habit to die alone
So when I called, you heard me shout
My thunder mingled with your doubt
An honest man may still be bound
To stakes a fable drove in the ground

He said he thinks he's gone insane
I told him life is just a game
We're spinning gold in each others' graves
And there isn't really much to say
And when they take me, I'll be still
My note asleep by her windowsill
I'd call her name when the sun says noon,
But it's hard to exhale through this noose
