Starts With Them, Ends With Us Lyrics
Don't speak
Don't speak until you've caught your breath
Don't sleep
Don't sleep unless you're safe in bed
Just pray in the night they take someone instead
The hills are alive with the sounds of your head
Please dear
Please dear be sure of us and ours
Don't fear
Don't fear the worst in case it comes
Just pray in the night that they don't take your love
The hills are alive with the sounds of their guns
You're getting used to 'em
What happens next
What happens next
East to west
Lunatics
It started slow
Ends in a rush
Starts with them
And ends with us
Just pray in the night these walls are enough
The hills are alive and the rivers show blood
The cancer is wide and it's taken my trust
Do what we will and we will what we must
Don't speak until you've caught your breath
Don't sleep
Don't sleep unless you're safe in bed
The hills are alive with the sounds of your head
Please dear be sure of us and ours
Don't fear
Don't fear the worst in case it comes
The hills are alive with the sounds of their guns
You're getting used to 'em
What happens next
East to west
Lunatics
Ends in a rush
Starts with them
And ends with us
The hills are alive and the rivers show blood
The cancer is wide and it's taken my trust
Do what we will and we will what we must

A fanzine article reported on some words from Mangan regarding the meaning of the song:
"Dan starts to explain an inspiring story behind the upcoming song - Starts With Them, Ends With Us; telling us about the two weeks he spent in Guatemala right after they finished a 30 year civil war. Hearing the stories of people affected by the war made him realize how easy life is back home. The song is about trust and what happens when it breaks, and about the society and the war."
