I see the lines in the palm of its hand now I listen hard but no words spring to mind And it sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat And I'm drowning in its sea Falling at its feet Listen to my heartbeat baby
And the blood sail leaves tonight Fated in its blindness And it won't be long before help is at hand And the darkness sleeps Cushioning the heartbeat And I killed the captain, sank the fleet To liberate the heartbeat baby And it sounds so sweet And it sounds so sweet Listen to our hearts beat
And the darkness sleeps Cushioning the heartbeat And I'm drowning in its sea Falling at its feet Listen to my heartbeat baby
It speaks to ghosts and souls alike Springs to life, and doesn't think twice Wrapped in the blood sail Bathed in snow Nailed to the source and it won't let go Fed on the bible, grown from trees It opened the mind and the heart was free A home in the silence, safe from sound
