lyrics

VERSE
You rip the future
From pages of the past
Trip our tongues
On your broken glass
We can’t afford to swallow your truth no more

A wind is building
Its bigger than you
A wall is nothing
We can’t tear through
The bigger we get
The harder you will fall

CHORUS
Break the damns
Race the sea
Tumble the stones
Inside of me
Strip me down
Know me to the bone
To the wolves
Tumble me home

VERSE
Around the world
There’s men like you
Violent, tyrant, men like you
You’ll build a dam, you’ll kill a man to save your company

But freedom is
A taste of sweet
A lovers face
A chord so deep
You can break me down, but you can’t take that from me

BRIDGE (single chords of chorus)
Portrait of a wolf
Who has found her pack
Run the river down
There’s no turning back

The December moon
We’re together now
Like a river down
There’s no stopping… uuuuuuuuuuuussss

CHORUS
