Desolation Sounds

At the edge of the water
At the foot of the hills
Fogs claws at the mountain
And the passing ships
If desolation were a sound, I've heard it
Trample the tall grass
Let distance darken my skin
Swim in grey oceans
That end where they begin
If desolation were a sound, I've heard it

There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation
Black boots on the pavement
Under the midnight sun
Older than imagination
Savage as can be
If desolation were a sound, I've heard it

There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation
There's mercy after all
There's mercy after all
There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation
