The Republic of Wolves – Albatross Lyrics 14 years ago
At the end, he sings:
I don't think you'll ever know
How hard it was to let that go
Yeah, I guess I lost control
But I never will again

The Republic of Wolves – Sea Smoke (Demo) Lyrics 15 years ago
And I'd been too long in a polished wooden tomb
Should've left some space for you
But I never got my fill of tempting fate

So I sold my spine to the devil-handed dusk

The Republic of Wolves – Oarsmen Lyrics 15 years ago
The lyrics according to the music video on the simple stereo youtube channel:

I woke up sweating on the moaning mount of olives
My black dove penance weighing down my feather feet
Woven into my skin, the covenants I'd broken
My granite heart will not forget what it once was.

A coffer full of your love
I couldn't bear it.

I don't believe I ever had a choice
When the sun came up and my eyes were struck
I don't believe I could've changed my mind
In the dead end heat of that withered beach
With my grave stone teeth and your seven shades of grief

We were unleavened earth before the first unsettled word fell
They drew the devil's iris in between your brows
Accursed breath that left our bodies when the day broke
Who built that weary wooden cabinet for your faith?

All these doors I see
mean nothing to me.

I don't believe I ever had a choice
When we lost our sight to the teething night
I don't believe I could've changed my mind
When the seeds were sown and then left alone
How could I have known I was never on my own?

Oh God, I feel like every saintly fire was my fault.

That I got crossed off of the wall
and my fingers all bloodied and torn
and it's just a lie,
a poor excuse for all the fumes
that I spit out back when I was young,
and god damn the truth,
I was unused,
an empty glass,
an oarsman and no one knew my name.

I am not welcome in this house I built.

The Republic of Wolves – Oarsmen Lyrics 15 years ago
This is what I hear, but some of them don't really make sense so I'm probably a lot more off target than you are.

woven into my skin rather than woke up into
my granite heart rather than crumbling heart
a coffer full of your love
We were ? earth before the first unsettle ? fell
They drew the Devils out of ? between your brow

I also don't hear 'and the savage inside of me' but I can't figure out what it is. It sounds like 'seven shades of ?' but I don't know. I wish they'd post lyrics. :(

The Dear Hunter – The Poison Woman Lyrics 16 years ago
'Habit sustains her viciousness' - viciousness sounds like wickedness to me.

A Love Like Pi – Innocent Man Lyrics 17 years ago
"In the end, when the fire comes burning up the souls we spend
Is there words? Would we have paid?"

I think the 'Is there words...' part sounds more like: "Is it worth what we have paid?" which makes more sense to me because they're talking of spending souls and they're questioning if their actions would be worth it in the end.

A Love Like Pi – A Merry Cain Lyrics 17 years ago
I'm pretty sure the line 'I'll drive through them majesty in their vain' is 'I'll drive through the majesty in their veins' and 'Drowning in the ember race of grain' is 'Drowning in the amber waves of grain.' Both reference the song America the Beautiful which is probably why the song is titled what it is.

I love this song, especially the use of the violins and trumpet.

One of my favorite songs from the album.

Sleeping At Last – Careful Hands Lyrics 18 years ago
This is the first song I heard from Sleeping At Last and still remains a favorite. It's absolutely gorgeous.

The only correction I have is from this line: We'll divide the prisoner From the prisoner. The second 'prisoner' should be 'pioneer.'

A Fine Frenzy – Rangers Lyrics 18 years ago
I think that "It comes and goes and is lost" should be "The crumbs are gone and the way is lost." Like the bread crumbs in Hansel and Gretel? It would fit considering the context of the song and some of the references to fairytales; ie. "Poison apple", etc.
