Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I walk through the blacked out valley
With a soul I could never disguise
Right up to the water, hopelessly wide
All the years and your voice still carries
Lullabies in the world of the blind
Take me 'cross the river, into the fire
[Refrain]
She keeps calling, she keeps calling
She keeps calling and she keeps calling
Let me out of limbo, into the fire
[Chorus]
Silent sister
Out of reach
Let it wash right over me
Let it wash right down on me
This violent sunlight
I can’t even breathe
It’s hard to speak
It’s too hard to speak
[Verse 2]
Black hymns in the land of the living
Or lullabies in the world of the blind
No rest in this tortured landscape
I’ll never sleep in your world or mine
She keeps calling, she keeps calling
She keeps calling, she keeps calling
She keeps calling, she keeps crying out
[Chorus]
Silent sister
We will meet
Let it wash right over me
Let it crash right down on me
This violent sunlight
I can’t even breathe
It’s hard to speak
It’s too hard to speak
[Outro]
How can you forget and go on living?
When all the ones you love have been let down
All of you just go on unforgiven
With all the ways that they keep calling out
Out
