AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD LYRICS

"The Lost City Of Refuge"

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
