Bat For Lashes - Wilderness Lyrics

I took my lanes to the sea
We had just pressed the shells into our bones
And we saw the queen in the sky
Gently revealing the treasures of her crowns

Took off all of our armor
Every last single drop of gold
And we banished the land
Lifted our bodies right up into the cold

Wilderness in the darkest night
I call out to my brothers, come, join me in flight

And the tears, they did roll from the salty sea
The rainy sky and the wide eye, the wide eyes
My heart, it did swell as the grandest of stars
Burst out names in the skies

I can see but a thousand of families and friends
I have thought but long gone
And the thunder claps hands as I embrace them
And we howled out to every single last swan

Wilderness in the darkest night
I call out to my brothers, come, join me in flight
