Sleep now in the dust Let me carry us over the hills Hear the night, with everyone singing Out, out loud
Whatever you face I'll be here with you son Right there upon the top of your shoulder
[Chorus:] Can you sharpen your tongue, kid? I know you will find your voice in the thunder, son If you learn from the ship wrecks, in time You'll be the hand that fights
Sleep well in the dust It's time to carry the empire home Please resist, the silver tongues swinging Out, out now
Whatever you face I'll be here with you son Right there upon the top of your shoulder
[Chorus: 2x] Can you sharpen your tongue, kid? I know you will find your voice in the thunder, son If you learn from the ship wrecks, in time You'll be the hand that fights
