lyrics

wave to graveyards of swallows
i wanted to follow
so i'll start tomorrow
i'll say so long to the non believers
i hope you find some meaning
cause the sands you grab are fleeting
but you can't seen
(you come out at night)
the judgements you've made
aren't sustaining
you can't see
(nightwings fail in flight)
that it's time to let it go
you won't take heed
(you come out at night)
of everything that's died in your hands
in this catacomb you've made
you've never tried to save what's real
one day i'll climb the holy mountain
and bathe in healing fountain
and throw away my doubting
i know i'll leave this world of violence
and celebrate the silence
in castles of ancient kindness
cause now i see
(i come out at night)
the judgements i've made
aren't sustaining
now i see
(nightwings fail in flight)
that it's time to let it go
i will take heed
(i come out at night)
of everything that's died in my hands
cause in this catacomb so low
i've kept my eye on the swallow
catch my halo
while it's falling
catch my halo
catch my halo
king of swallows
catch my halo
