Last City Of Refuge Lyrics - Worlds Apart - And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

With history, your bluest grace 

Falls apart, cascading down 

Speak to me of beautiful hate 

Of island chains swept with the tide 

Tragedy ripening on 

The coral leis of a conquering king 

They're swept away 

Oh, but not lost 

Beneath the waves of trembling stars 

The road winds towards 

The windward side 

My soul is saved by these city lights 

My face is framed by the blanket of night 

They're swept away 

Oh, but not lost 

Was I too proud to sat, or to wish for 

Words that I knew were forbidden? 

Because I don't want to know 

I didn't want to see what I saw 

When I looked in the distance 

They're swept away 

Oh, but not lost
