Foregone Lyrics
There are lies and say it's a honey
All this light that day break brave
And the ancient bands that ? me
Until the bad where you sleepy ?
And the hider greed on ?
Long before a flighter fall
And so it will be until memory
Makes the shadow all ?
And the ricks and the racks and the run
All the beats you believe that it's none
But it's foregone
It's foregone
Can it be that this ? given
This awaking from long dark night
Of a so, so on and ?
Sleep away to set to rights
And the ricks and the racks and the run
All the beats you believe that it's none
But it's foregone
It's foregone
It's foregone, it's foregone
And the ricks and the racks and the run
All the beats you believe that it's none
And the ricks and the racks and the run
It's foregone
It's foregone
It's foregone
It's foregone
Carry on
Oh, carry on
All this light that day break brave
And the ancient bands that ? me
Until the bad where you sleepy ?
Long before a flighter fall
And so it will be until memory
Makes the shadow all ?
All the beats you believe that it's none
But it's foregone
It's foregone
This awaking from long dark night
Of a so, so on and ?
Sleep away to set to rights
All the beats you believe that it's none
But it's foregone
It's foregone
It's foregone, it's foregone
All the beats you believe that it's none
And the ricks and the racks and the run
It's foregone
It's foregone
It's foregone
It's foregone
Oh, carry on

I'm pretty sure this about the birth/conception of Colin and Carson's son, Henry, as a sort of prequel to Rise to Me
Dear her eyes and say it's honey (?) All this light that daybreak brings And the ancient bands that brung me To the bed where you’re sleeping safe
And we had agreed on Henry Long before a flutter fell And so it will be till memory Makes a shadow of ourselves
And the wreaks (?) and the wrecks and the wrong All would lead to believe that it's not But it's foregone It's foregone
Can it be that this is given? This awaking from a long dark night Of a soul so wan and wizen Sleep away to set to right
Dear, arise and say it's a honey All this light that, daybreak brings And the ancient bands that brung me To the bed where, you're sleeping safe
Dear, arise and say it's a honey All this light that, daybreak brings And the ancient bands that brung me To the bed where, you're sleeping safe
And we had agreed on Henry, Long before, the flutter felt And so it will be till memory Makes a shadow, of ourselves
And we had agreed on Henry, Long before, the flutter felt And so it will be till memory Makes a shadow, of ourselves
And the reach and the wrecks and the wrong All would lead to believe that it's not But it's foregone. It's foregone
And the reach and the wrecks and the wrong All would lead to believe that it's not But it's foregone. It's foregone
Can it be that this is given? This awakening, from a long dark night Of a soul so on and wizened Sleep away, to set to rights
Can it be that this is given? This awakening, from a long dark night Of a soul so on and wizened Sleep away, to set to rights
And...
And the reach and the wrecks and the wrong All would lead to believe that it's not But it's foregone. It's foregone It's foregone. It's foregone.
And the reach and the wrecks and the wrong All would lead to believe that it's not And the reach and the wrecks and the wrong It's foregone. It's foregone. It's foregone. It's foregone.
Carry on, oh, carry on…
Whoops. "Dear, arise and say it's honey."
Does anyone REALLY KNOW the correct lyrics? My band does the song very well. It is really a fun song to play, but I feel like such an idiot mumbling "nonsense syllables! I have worked with a multiband equalizer to try to isolate the vocals and I get......"and the reaps and the rights and the wrongs.......nonsense! Sometimes Colin's faux accent is infuriating!
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
I believe it is:
I believe it is:
"Dear horizon, [or perhaps "Dear, arise and" as someone said below] say it's a honey All this light that day break brings And the ancient bends that brung me To the bed where you're sleeping safe

Can it be that this is given? This awaking from a long dark night Of a soul so on [long?] and wisened Sleep away, too set to right [?]

"reach" as in a geopolitically defined expanse of land
