The Anniversary

Sweet Marie, there's a hole where your heart should be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony
Sweet Marie, there's a hole where your heart should be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony

What beautiful lies you've been told
What terrible truths drown your soul
She hides behind all my lies

Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need all my love tonight - all my love

Sweet Marie, how cold your body can be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony
Such a beautiful kiss in the face of fear
Such a beautiful song burns through your ears
She hides behind all my lies

Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need all my love tonight - all my love

Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need...

I saw the stones in her eyes
I saw the shadow of the world turn white
She thought she did it right
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth

Husam, who shot your daughter
Asleep in the house of your father
Husam, who shot daughter
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth and be free

You were a castaway from New Orleans
Fought the world to find your dreams, oh yeah
Almost starved to death, cuz you had no money
Sold your soul for blood and honey, oh yeah
Cars crash and we collide as the siren sings the saddest song tonight
And this is it, how it all comes down
To the love you would leave the streets of your home town

At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine

I was a cast away from New Orleans
Fought the world to find my dreams, oh yeah
Your heart had to let me go
Now I'd rather die than ever be alone, oh yeah

At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine

At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
I keep this heart right next to mine
I keep this heart right next to mine

I never thought I would fall over
My feet having pushed under ground
But I fell down
Yes, over
I've been told that lovers shine brighter
I've travelled the darkest of roads
And nearing the end of each chapter
The book explodes

Taking off in the dawn
I'll never die young
And I can live to regret this
Others have loved the land
And those rings on your hands
Make the world come together
And it never does turn out right
On goes the fight.

Back in my head
Back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's 4 am
All sound has worn thin
Those memories float along

Taking off in the dawn
I'll never die young
And I can live to regret this
Others have loved the land
And those rings on your hands
Make the world come together
And it never does turn out right
On goes the fight.

Back in my head
Back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's 4 am
All sound has worn thin
Those memories float along

Back in my head
Back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's 4 am
All sound has worn thin
Those memories float along

By the house that you call home lies the evil and the scared
Pass the saints through the heaven gates - we can hide out there
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I've known you all my life tonight

On the Highland borderline it brings us back when we were kids
Pictures of our dead loved ones - the night is young so don't be scared
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I've known you all my life tonight

Walk slowly, the rest of your life, my dear
Sing clearly, the path of the arrow is near
The river will dry up every year
The sun should drink every last tear
It flows above the casket's lear
So lay down, next to your brother
And go blind

Walk slowly, the rest of your life, my dear
How lovely, the ghost of the river draws near
Keep moving, let faith pour out in blood from ear to ear
Burn your money, remember it does you no good 'round here

The river will dry up every year
The sun should drink every last tear
It flows above the casket's lear
So lay down, next to your brother
And go blind

Who stole my soul, I may never know
Who stole my soul, I may never know
Oh, Who stole my soul?
Who stole my soul, I may never know
Who stole my soul, I may never know
Oh, I may never know

There's beauty inside - there is beauty inside
The darkest of nights - the black and red lights
This spring has been frozen - the gods have been chosen
They dance in their blood

Your life has been sold - your life has been sold
For your face looks so old - how your face grew so old
Near the city of broken hearts - to the city of broken hearts
But we all fell apart - how we all fell apart

We drive with the devil on our side
We drink the land - it tastes like wine
I never said my love was true
I put that in the hands of you

Communication, no communication - just sex and frustration
You're killing, you're killing, you're killing, you're killing
You're a killer kid, you are a killer kid
But you did what you did - oh you did what you did

We drive with the devil on our side
We drink the land - it tastes like wine
I never said my love was true
I put that in the hands of you

There's beauty inside - there is beauty inside
The darkest of nights - the black and red lights
At the tip of your head - it's black and it's red

How does it feel to be dead? (4x)
I know how it feels to be dead (7x)

And we all follow the sun, come everyone, follow the sun (13x)
