A greater darkness for all its worth A friend so young whose life was cut We drink the rain to clear our throats We drink the poison to make it go The little mercies above all things No final act, no final scene A friend for life and in death too Forever strong, forever hold, inside our soul So raise your hands above the waters We are the thieves in giant shoulders So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower To watch you drown inside the monster The day now ends and all within A greater darkness covers everything Is there no end for such a pain Is there no hope, no other life, no way to know? So raise your hands above the waters We are the thieves in giant shoulders So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower To watch you drown inside the monster So raise your hands inside the monster
