Rocking

from Elpis by The May Project

/

lyrics

rocking in slumber against the rhythm
of a heart that's beating too quick to fathom
i'll sing you this lullaby slow and soothing tonight

colours that burst and just melt into blackness
a twisting of arrows returning to haunt us
a mystery feeding the darkness that brings out the light

so sing with me, be with me, fly
as we follow the depths of the skies
they're changing and bringing us
into the dawn

wrists that are bare as my soul's creation
a feeling that all is against the nations
that call out and cry to be freed from this darkest of nights

i'll take you, i'll lead you, i'll be your mother
i'll guide you, i'll offer my blood like water
you'll listen and see that this darkness will soon be the light

so sing with me, be with me, fly
as we follow the depths of the skies
they're changing and bringing us
into the dawn

so sing with me, be with me, fly
as we follow the depths of the skies
they're changing and bringing us
into the dawn

i'll take you, i'll lead you, i'll be your mother
i'll guide you, i'll offer my blood like water
i'll take you, i'll lead you, i'll be your mother
i'll guide you, i'll offer my blood like water
