Messiah Ward

I hope you're sitting comfortably

I saved you the best seat in the house right up in the front row

The stars have been torn down and the moon is locked away

The land is banked in frozen snow

You are a force of nature, dear

And your breath curls from your lips

And the trees bend down their branches

To touch you with their fingertips

They're bringin' out the dead now

It's easy, well, just to look away

They are bringin' out the dead now

It's been a strange, strange day

We could navigate our position by the stars

But they've taken out the stars

Well the stars have all gone

And I'm glad you've come along

We could comprehend our condition by the moon

But they've ordered the moon not to shine

Still, I'm glad you've come along

I was worried out of my mind

'Cause they keep bringin' out the dead now

And it's easy just to look away

They're bringin' out the dead

And it's been a long, strange day

You can move up a little closer

I'll throw a blanket over

We can weigh all the tears in one hand

Against the laughter in the other

We could be hangin' 'round for centuries

Trying to make sense of this, my dear

While the planets try to get organized

Way above the stratosphere

But they keep bringin' out the dead, now

And it's easy if we just walk away

'Cause they keep bringin' out the dead, now

It's been a long, long day

Look away

Look away
